Cisco AS5350XM and Cisco AS5400XM Universal Gateways Software Configuration Guide
Clear Ports
To clear a port means to deactivate calls on a port or to clear the
Bad
state on a port and reset it. Ports
need to be cleared if communication attempts with the port have failed or if the port is to be removed
from operation.
Use the
show spe slot/spe
command to view the active ports on an SPE. To clear ports on an SPE, enter
the following command in privileged EXEC mode. You can clear all ports on the gateway, all ports on a
slot, or a port. This replaces the
clear modem
command.
•
The example below clears port 1 on slot 4.
AS5400#
clear port 4/1
AS5400# This will clear port 4/01 [confirm]
yes
AS5400#
•
The example below clears all active ports on slot 4.
AS5400#
clear port 4
AS5400# This will clear port 4/00 - 4/107 [confirm]
yes
AS5400#
If
slot/port
is specified, the port on that SPE is cleared. If
slot
is specified, all active ports on that
particular slot are cleared. If no argument is specified, all ports are cleared.
Additionally, this command clears the
Bad
state on a port and resets it. However, the port is not
cleared if the SPE was previously in a
Bad
state because of an SPE firmware download.
Port Configuration Mode
Port configuration mode allows you to enter a mode similar to line configuration mode. This mode
allows individual ports or ranges of ports to be shut down or put in busyout mode. Port configuration
mode commands replace the
modem range
,
modem busyout
, and
modem shutdown
commands used
with MICA modems.
•
The example below demonstrates how to enter port configuration mode for a single port.
AS5400#
configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
AS5400(config)#
port 3/1
AS5400(config-port)#
•
The example below demonstrates how to enter port configuration mode for a range of ports.
AS5400#
configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
AS5400(config)#
port 3/1 3/18
AS5400(config-port)#
Port Configuration Mode Commands
The following commands are available in port configuration mode:
•
busyout
card/port
—Gracefully disables a port or all ports on a feature card by waiting for the active
services on the specified port to terminate. You can busy out all ports or just one port on a card—for
example,
busyout 1
specifies all ports on card 1;
busyout 1/4
specifies just port 4 on card 1. Use the
no
form of this command to reenable the ports. This replaces the
modem busyout
command.
Maintenance activities such as testing can still be performed while a port is in busyout mode.
