Manually Checking CRC Errors on the ML-Series Card

The slot and port are combined to form the ifIndex using the following formula:

ifIndex = (slot * 10000h) + (port)

10000h is the hexadecimal equivalent number of 65536. The resulting ifIndex is a meaningful two-part
number in hexadecimal, but seems confusing and arbitrary in decimal. For example, ifIndex E0002h is
Slot 14, Port 2. This same number in decimal notation is 917506. The rmon alarm command requires
the ifindex number in decimal form.

As an additional reference for calculating the correct ifindex value to use with the rmon alarm
command,

Table 21-1

lists the base ifindex number for Slots 1 to 17. The desired port number can be

added to the slot base number to quickly determine the correct ifIndex number.

Manually Checking CRC Errors on the ML-Series Card

Users can also check the current count of ML-Series card CRC errors on an interface by using the
show interface command. The example shows six total input errors, which are all CRC errors, in the last
line of the output.

FE 7 = Port 7

FE 7 = Port 7

FE 8 = Port 8

FE 9 = Port 9

FE 10 = Port
10

FE 11 = Port 11
