Using Debug Commands

This section explains how you use the debug commands to diagnose and resolve internetworking
problems. It contains this information:

environment. This situation means that the system is on the verge of generating CRC errors.
– Change to a profile that has the interleaver feature enabled, such as the LRE-5, LRE-10,
LRE-15, LRE-10-1, LRE-10-3, or LRE-10-5 profile.
– Change the interleave block size value to any value other than 0.
Change to a profile with a lower data rate (for example, use LRE-5 instead of LRE-15) to
–
increase the noise margin.
• The LRE link length and quality are close to the limit of operation.
Change to a profile with a lower data rate (for example, use LRE-5 instead of LRE-15).
–
Reduce the effect of stubs or bridge taps by terminating them with 300-ohm microfilters.
–
• Adjust upper-layer network protocols to allow for high latency.
• Change to a profile with a higher data rate to increase link bandwidth. This decreases the noise
margin.
– Choose a lower interleave block size value.
• Select a low-latency (LL) LRE profile, such as LRE-5LL, LRE-10LL, or LRE-15LL.
Use the LL private profiles with care. The LL profiles have the LL feature enabled and the
interleaver feature turned off. The LL feature does not delay data transmission, but it makes
data more susceptible to interruptions on the LRE link.
All other profiles, public and private, have the interleaver feature enabled and the LL feature
disabled. The interleaver feature provides maximum protection against small interruptions
on the LRE link but delays data transmission. For more information about the LRE profiles,
see the "LRE Links and LRE Profiles" section on page
