Common show controller Troubleshooting Fields
The following example of a show controllers command displays the typical location of the Port status,
Active Alarms, and Active Defects fields for a T1 interface:
Switch# show controllers atm 4/1/0
IF Name: ATM4/1/0, SUNI PDH Chip Base Address: A8F08000
IF Name: ATM4/1/0, framer Base Address: A8F09000
Port type: T1 Port rate: 1500 Kbps Port medium: UTP
Port status:Good Signal Loopback:None Flags:8008

[Information Deleted]
In the previous example the following errors appear:
• Port status—LINE AIS LCD or line alarm indicate signal and loss of cell delineation. Table 5-1 lists
the port status errors and causes plus, recommended actions.
• TX Led and RX Led—Traffic pattern indicates this interface is receiving a signal, CD Led (Carrier
Detect) Green—detecting a carrier signal. Each interface type in the following sections provides a
table with the port adapter LED descriptions.
• Counters—these error counters are described in Table 5-2.
The Port status, Active Alarms, and Active Defects fields are described in detail in the following
sections:
• Port Status and Active Defects, page 5-15
• Line Coding Errors, page 5-17
