Cisco XR 12000 Series Router SIP and SPA Hardware Installation Guide

Chapter 5 Installing and Removing a Shared Port Adapter
Checking the Installation
Note New interfaces are not available until you configure them.
Step 6 If the SIP is a replacement, use the show interfaces type slot-number/port-number command or the
show controllers command to verify the status of the SPAs. (See the
“Using show Commands to Verify
SIP and SPA Status” section on page 5 5 .)
If you replaced a SIP with another SIP with a different SPA installed, the system recognizes the
interfaces on the previously configured SPA but does not recognize the new SPA interfaces. The new
interfaces remain in the shutdown state until you configure them.
Step 7 When the interfaces are up, check the activity of each SPA by observing the status LEDs.
Step 8 If an interface LED fails to go on and a cable is connected to the interface port, check the cable
connection and make certain it is properly seated in the connector.
Step 9 Repeat Step 1 through Step 8 to verify that any additional MSCs are properly installed.
If you experience other problems that you are unable to solve, contact TAC (see the “Obtaining
Documentation and Submitting a Service Request” section on page xx in the Preface ) or a service
representative for assistance.
To configure the new interface, use Cisco xxxx Series Router SIP and SPA Software Configuration
Guide.
Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity
This section provides brief descriptions of the ping command. The ping command allows you to verify
that a SPA port is functioning properly and to check the path between a specific port and connected
devices at various locations on the network. After you verify that the system and the SIP have booted
successfully and are operational, you can use this command to verify the status of the SPA ports. Refer
to the publications listed in the
“Related Documentation” section on page xx for detailed command
descriptions and examples.
The ping command sends an echo request out to a remote device at an IP address that you specify. After
sending a series of signals, the command waits a specified time for the remote device to echo the signals.
Each returned signal is displayed as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal; each signal that is
not returned before the specified timeout is displayed as a period (.). A series of exclamation points
(!!!!!) indicates a good connection; a series of periods (.....) or the messages [timed out] or [failed]
indicate that the connection failed.
Following is an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the IP address 10.1.1.60:
Router# ping 10.1.1.60 <Return>
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 10.1.1.60, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/15/64 ms
Router#
If the connection fails, verify that you have the correct IP address for the server and that the server is
active (powered on), and repeat the ping command.
