Step Command Remarks
6. Set the keepalive transmission
interval.
timer-hold seconds The default is 10 seconds.
7. Set the intended bandwidth
for the BRI interface.
bandwidth bandwidth-value
By default, the expected
bandwidth (in kbps) is the interface
baud rate divided by 1000.
8. (Optional.) Restore the default
settings for the BRI interface.
default N/A
9. (Optional.) Bring up the BRI
interface.
undo shutdown By default, a BRI interface is up.
10. (Optional.) Activate the BRI
interface.
activate
By default, a BRI interface is not
activated.

Configuring a CE1/PRI interface
Overview
There are two TDM systems in the data communications system:
• E1 system—Recommended by ITU-T and widely used in Europe and P.R. China.
• T1 system—Recommended by ANSI and widely used in North American and Japan. (Japan
actually uses the J1 system. It is regarded as a T1 system due to the high level of similarity between
them.)
A CE1/PRI interface can operate in either E1 mode (also called non-channelized mode) or CE1/PRI
mode (also called channelized mode).
• A CE1/PRI interface in E1 mode is an interface of 2.048 Mbps data bandwidth, on which no
timeslots are divided. Its logical features are the same as those of a synchronous serial interface. It
supports link layer protocols such as PPP, FR, LAPB, and X.25 and the network protocols such as IP
and IPX.
• A CE1/PRI interface in CE1/PRI mode is physically divided into 32 timeslots numbered 0 to 31.
Timeslot 0 is used to transmit synchronizing information. This interface can be used as either a CE1
interface or a PRI interface.
{ When this interface is used as a CE1 interface, all the timeslots except timeslot 0 can be
randomly divided into multiple channel sets and each set can be used as an interface upon
