Broadcast LMI Keepalives?

2001-02-09 Thread John Neiberger

We have a circuit that is having pretty severe problems.  No errors are being seen at 
the router serial interface, but we are experiencing about 50% packet loss (500 byte 
packets) incoming.  I've just noticed something else that is odd.  For each incoming 
LMI response, the number of received broadcasts increments.  

Serial0 is up, line protocol is up
  Hardware is HD64570
  Description: 24.YBGA.xx
  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1544 Kbit, DLY 2 usec, rely 255/255, load 2/255
  Encapsulation FRAME-RELAY, loopback not set, keepalive set (10 sec)
  LMI enq sent  235, LMI stat recvd 218, LMI upd recvd 0, DTE LMI up
  LMI enq recvd 0, LMI stat sent  0, LMI upd sent  0
  LMI DLCI 1023  LMI type is CISCO  frame relay DTE
  Broadcast queue 0/64, broadcasts sent/dropped 1135/0, interface broadcasts 1018
  Last input 00:00:00, output 00:00:00, output hang never
  Last clearing of "show interface" counters 00:39:18
  Input queue: 1/75/0 (size/max/drops); Total output drops: 0
  Queueing strategy: weighted fair  
  Output queue: 0/1000/64/0 (size/max total/threshold/drops)
 Conversations  0/23/256 (active/max active/max total)
 Reserved Conversations 0/0 (allocated/max allocated)
  5 minute input rate 17000 bits/sec, 7 packets/sec
  5 minute output rate 14000 bits/sec, 9 packets/sec
 20505 packets input, 5242248 bytes, 0 no buffer
 Received 218 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles
 0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored, 0 abort
 26000 packets output, 5145390 bytes, 0 underruns
 0 output errors, 0 collisions, 0 interface resets
   0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out
0 carrier transitions
 DCD=up  DSR=up  DTR=up  RTS=up  CTS=up

Because some keepalives are being missed, does that cause the frame switch to change 
the way it sends them?  I couldn't find any other example of LMI keepalives causing 
the broadcast counters to increase, and I checked this on interfaces using both Cisco 
and ANSI LMI.

any ideas?

thanks,
John

As for your CKT issues the router is dropping LMI packets.  From just the
output given below it looks like the local bell probably has a transmit
issue from your site to the end carrier (ie WCOM).  I suggest opening a tkt
with your frame-relay provider to resolve the issue.  As for your broadcast
question I do not know the answer of the top of my head.  Could luck with
your Frame-Relay provider.
