R1 and R2 are the same network. But when you send a check to the ICMP Ping output "Time exceeded" error and,

show interface Serial0/0/0 

command produces the following output:

How can I solve this phenomenon?

sh diag

  • It's unclear exactly what you're trying to do, but a looped interface means the tx lines are connected to the rx lines. This could be a mistake in wiring or the loop button on the WIC is pressed.

  • Can you add the entire output of "show interface" as well as the configuration for the interface.

Serial0/0/0 is up, line protocol is up (looped)

You interface is looped and hence when you ping the IP 210.220.61.1 on the other end you are stuck in the loop and hence TTL(hop count) gets expired, therefore the messge

Time exceeded ICMP in Serial Interface

  • How do you solve it? Commented Oct 28, 2016 at 11:35
  • In configuration mode "Controller E1/T1 'number'" and then "no loopback" Commented Oct 28, 2016 at 11:45
  • There is no "cisco 2811 router", which I use that instruction. Commented Oct 28, 2016 at 11:54
  • What do mean by "There is no "cisco 2811 router"", Is it not a cisco 2811? Is there no command like Controller E1 in configure mode? Commented Oct 28, 2016 at 12:07
  • cisco 2811 router not have command "Controller E1" in configure mode Commented Oct 28, 2016 at 12:09

Serial x is up, line protocol is up (looped)

A loop exists in the circuit. The sequence number in the keepalive packet changes to a random number when a loop is initially detected. If the same random number is returned over the link, a loop exists.

  1. Use the show running-config privileged exec command to look for any loopback interface configuration command entries.

  2. If you find a loopback interface configuration command entry, use the no loopback interface configuration command to remove the loop.

  3. If you do not find the loopback interface configuration command, examine the CSU/DSU to determine whether they are configured in manual loopback mode. If they are, disable manual loopback.

  4. Reset the CSU or DSU, and inspect the line status. If the line protocol comes up, no other action is needed.

  5. If the CSU or DSU is not configured in manual loopback mode, contact the leased-line or other carrier service for line troubleshooting assistance.
