Configure Switch C in the same way Switch B is configured.

Verifying the configuration

Check interface connectivity with the display interface pos command and test network connectivity

with the ping command.

Troubleshooting POS interfaces

Symptom 1

The physical state of a POS interface is down.

Solution

Check that the transmitting and receiving optical fibers are correctly connected to the POS interface.

If you connect the two ends of an optical fiber to the transmitting end and the receiving end of the

same POS interface, you can see the message "loopback detected" on the screen when executing
the display interface command even if you have not enabled loopback.

If the two switches are directly connected (back to back), check that the POS interfaces use different
clock modes.

Symptom 2

The physical layer is up but the link is down.

Solution

Check that:

The settings of clock, scrambling and other physical parameters are consistent on the two
connected POS interfaces.

The same link layer protocol is configured on two sides.

Both ends are assigned IP addresses.

Symptom 3

A great amount of IP packets are dropped.

Solution

Check that:

The correct clock mode is configured on the POS interface. If not, enormous amount of CRC errors
will be generated.

The Maximum transmission unit (MTU) configuration is matched.

Configuring loopback and null interfaces

This chapter describes how to configure a loopback interface and a null interface.
