Thanks. I have called the carrier and am waiting for a call back. I figured I should always see 255/255 for reliability. This router is in another office, so I'm not sure about the cabling, but 99% of the time it is the carrier's problem. Thanks again for the info

After clearing counters and issuing the 'sh int' command, you have way too many. Reliability is a measurement that some routing protocols use to determine which link to take if multiple paths exist to a given destination. It should be 255/255 (indicating 100% uptime). Whenever a circuit flaps for any reason, reliability is decremented by 1. Your circuit has gone up and down several times it looks like. Hard to say where the issue lies, but I would first give your carrier a call and have them run intrusive testing on the circuit (since no one can use it anyway). Have them test *through* the CSU to the CPE side of the DMarc. In fact, if they'll do it, have them loop up the T1 controller on your router and run testing to that. If it's a carrier issue, this will find it. What kind of DMarc extension are you running? Is the router right next to the Smart Jack? Can you swap cables? Just some thoughts... HTH, Aaron T.
