Troubleshooting
Use the information in this chapter to help isolate problems you might encounter or to rule out the router
as the source of a problem. This chapter contains the following sections:
Getting Started
Before Contacting Cisco or Your Reseller
ADSL Troubleshooting
SHDSL Troubleshooting
ATM Troubleshooting Commands
Software Upgrade Methods
Recovering a Lost Password
Managing Your Router with SDM
Getting Started
Before troubleshooting a software problem, you must connect a terminal or PC to the router using the
light-blue console port. (For information on making this connection, see the documentation listed in the
“Related Documents” section on page 14
.) With a connected terminal or PC, you can view status
messages from the router and enter commands to troubleshoot a problem.
You can also remotely access the interface (Ethernet, ADSL, or telephone) by using Telnet. The Telnet
option assumes that the interface is up and running.
Before Contacting Cisco or Your Reseller
If you cannot locate the source of a problem, contact your local reseller for advice. Before you call, you
should have the following information ready:
Chassis type and serial number
Maintenance agreement or warranty information
Type of software and version number
Date you received the hardware
Brief description of the problem
Brief description of the steps you have taken to isolate the problem

Troubleshooting
ADSL Troubleshooting
ADSL Troubleshooting
If you experience trouble with the ADSL connection, verify the following:
The ADSL line is connected and is using pins 3 and 4. For more information on the ADSL
connection, see the hardware guide for your router.
The ADSL CD LED is on. If it is not on, the router may not be connected to the DSL access
multiplexer (DSLAM). For more information on the ADSL LEDs, see the hardware installation
guide specific for your router
.
The correct Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) virtual path identifier/virtual circuit identifier
(VPI/VCI) is being used.
The DSLAM supports discrete multi-tone (DMT) Issue 2.
The ADSL cable that you connect to the Cisco router must be 10BASE-T Category 5, unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) cable. Using regular telephone cable can introduce line errors.
SHDSL Troubleshooting
Symmetrical high-data-rate digital subscriber line (SHDSL) is available on Cisco 878 and Cisco 1803
router models. If you experience trouble with the SHDSL connection, verify the following:
The SHDSL line is connected and using pins 3 and 4. For more information on the G.SHDSL
connection, see the hardware guide for your router.
The G.SHDSL LED is on. If it is not on, the router may not be connected to the DSL access
multiplexer (DSLAM). For more information on the G.SHDSL LED, see the hardware installation
guide specific for your router
.
The correct asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) virtual path identifier/virtual circuit identifier
(VPI/VCI) is being used.
The DSLAM supports the G.SHDSL signaling protocol.
Use the
show controllers dsl 0
command in EXEC mode to view an SHDSL configuration.
ATM Troubleshooting Commands
Use the following commands to troubleshoot your ATM interface.
ping atm interface Command
show interface Command
show atm interface Command
debug atm Commands

Troubleshooting
ATM Troubleshooting Commands
ping atm interface Command
Use the
ping atm interface
command to determine whether a particular PVC is in use. The PVC does
not need to be configured on the router to use this command.
Example 14-1
shows the use of this
command to determine whether PVC 8/35 is in use.
Example 14-1
Determining If a PVC Is in Use
Router#
ping atm interface atm 0 8 35 seg-loopback
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 53-byte segment OAM echoes, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 148/148/148 ms
This command sends five OAM F5 loopback packets to the DSLAM (segment OAM packets). If the
PVC is configured at the DSLAM, the ping is successful.
To test whether the PVC is being used at the aggregator, enter the following command:
Router#
ping atm interface atm 0 8 35 end-loopback
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 53-byte end-to-end OAM echoes, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 400/401/404 ms
This command sends end-to-end OAM F5 packets, which are echoed back by the aggregator.
show interface Command
Use the
show interface
command to display the status of all physical ports (Ethernet and ATM) and
logical interfaces on the router.
Table 14-1
describes messages in the command output.
