SDH Fiber Problem

Mon Sep 19 09:20:06 UTC 2011

I have triend to do a ping with the DF bit set.
Maximum am able to get to is 1600.
This am guessing is because of the fact I have set the mtu size on My interface to 1600.

I have also enable all alarms on the node and am getting the following alarm which is registering as beign Minor.

"High Order Path Signal Label Mismatch"

It does sound like an MTU issue. Symptoms are typical. Did you try pings end to end with DF bit set and full size datagrams?
