Active-Standby Peer Link Test (#888)
The Active-Standby Peer Link test is run only in a system equipped with the high- or
critical-reliability configuration. It verifies that a peer link can be set up between the active and
standby PKT-INTs. A peer link is a logical connection established between the packet bus and
an IPSI circuit pack’s Packet Interface module for both active and standby IPSIs. This link
forwards data and control messages between the active and standby PKT-INT to prepare for a
planned IPSI interchange. This test checks the operation of setting up a Peer Link, and verifies
that the active and standby IPSI’s Packet Interface modules can communicate over the packet
bus.
This test checks the functionality of both the active and standby Packet Interface modules, but it
is run against the standby Packet Interface module.

ABRT An IPSI circuit pack’s Packet Interface module is out of service, so normal
maintenance tests do not run on this Packet Interface.
1. Use reset packet-interface location to request a Packet
Interface module reset.
For further action, see repair procedures in Table 674: Test #889
Reset Test on page 1836, Packet Interface Reset test.
1139 ABRT The packet bus is alarmed.
1. Use display alarms to refer to the Alarm log and try to retire the
alarm associated with the packet bus.
For further action, see PKT-BUS (Packet Bus)
on page 1790.
2. Retry the command when the alarm associated with the packet bus is
retired.
1335 ABRT Internal IPSI error. The Packet Interface module is on the standby IPSI, so
this test is not allowed to execute.
1. Use set ipserver-interface location to make the standby
Packet Interface active.
2. Run the test.
