Cisco ASR 9000 Series Command Reference Guide

•
If specifying a virtual interface, the number range varies, depending on interface type.
Before you can start a BERT on an E3 controller, you must configure a BERT pattern using the bert
pattern command. If desired, you can also adjust the default setting (1 minute) of the BERT interval using
the bert interval command. Both of these commands are available in E3 configuration mode.
Note
To view the BERT results, use the show controllers e3 command in EXEC mode. The BERT results include
the following information:
•
Type of test pattern selected
•
Status of the test
•
Interval selected
•
Time remaining on the BERT
•
Total bit errors
•
Total bits received
BERT is data intrusive. Regular data cannot flow on a line while the test is in progress. The line is put in an
alarm state when a BERT is in progress and restored to a normal state after a BERT has been terminated.

Examples
The following example shows how to start and stop a BERT on an E3 controller:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# bert e3 0/3/0/0/0 start
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# bert e3 0/3/0/0/0 stop
The following example shows how to inject errors into the BERT stream on an E3 controller:
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router# bert e3 0/3/0/0 error
