Troubleshooting the Application


If workstations at one end of the link cannot access workstations on the other end, use the
following tools to help determine the cause:

Use the show interface (T1 1/1, or DDS 1/1, or Serial 1/1) command to display
information regarding the state of the physical layer.

Link Layer:

show frame pvc – This command displays whether the frame relay virtual interface is
active, inactive, or deleted.

show bridge 1 – This command gives the current state of the bridge group and the
forwarded addresses.


When troubleshooting any network problem, it is essential to work through all layers of the OSI
model beginning with the physical layer. For bridging applications, verify that the interface and link
layer protocol are functioning properly before troubleshooting the bridging configuration.
