Setting Up SRM Lines
The first step in configuring SRM lines is to define the physical lines that are connected to the switch.
The following sections describe how to do the following procedures:

•

Bringing Up Lines

Before a line is brought up, or after it is brought down, the switch does not monitor the line. The SRM
port status light for the line is unlit, and all line alarms are cleared.
When you bring up a line, the switch starts monitoring the line. The SRM line status light is green when
physical layer communication is established with a switch or CPE. If physical layer communications
problems are detected, the port status light turns red, and alarms are reported.
Tip To minimize the number of alarms and failed port status lamps (which display red), keep lines down until
they are ready for operation.
