For the following output example, the command status bri-port 1c1701 was
entered.
Layer2 State: This field contains the point-to-point signaling link layer 2 state.
Valid states are "un-assigned," "assigned," "established,"
"l3-established" or "hyperactive."
■ The states of "un-assigned" means the link is in the
TEI-UNASSIGN state at Layer 2.
■ The "assigned" state specifies the link is currently in the
AWAIT_EST (Await Establish) state at layer 2. If the BRI
endpoint supports TEI allocation procedures, this state
means that those procedures have been successfully
executed and a TEI has been assigned to the endpoint by
the switch.
■ The state of "established" signifies that the link is in the MF_
EST_NORM (Multi-Frame Established Normal) state at layer
2. This state means that the switch has successfully started
the link and is now capable of exchanging layer 3 frames with
the endpoint. If the endpoint does not support SPID
initialization procedures, the extension of the endpoint
associated with the link is also displayed. This is the normal
state for the link in the point-to-point wiring configuration.
■ A state of "l3-established" shows that the link is in the MF_
EST_NORM state at layer 2 and SPID initialization procedures
have been completed successfully. The extension of the
endpoint associated with the link is also displayed. This is the
normal state for the link in the multi-point wiring configuration.
■ The state of "hyperactive" means that traffic on this link has
gone over threshold. The link has been suspended and
deemed hyperactive.
Endpt Extension This field displays the extension of the voice/data endpoint
associated with the link only if the link is in the "established"
(point-to-point configuration) or "l3-established" (multipoint
configuration) layer 2 states, otherwise this field is blank.
Endpt SPID This field displays the SPID administered on the voice/data
endpoint associated with the link. Note that this information is
displayed only if the link is in either the "established"
(point-to-point configuration) or the "13-established" (multipoint
configuration) layer 2 state. Otherwise this field is blank.
Service SPID This field displays an indication as to whether the link is
associated with the Service SPID. If the link is associated with the
Service SPID this field contains a "yes" and the endpoint
extension field is blank, otherwise this field is blank. Service SPID
is a feature used by service technicians to check building wiring
between the switch and the BRI endpoint.
