Note The terms "Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literature. These terms do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration. Rather, these terms, as well as "Path Protected Mesh Network" and "PPMN," refer generally to Cisco's path protection feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not recommend using its path protection feature in any particular topological network configuration.

---

This chapter gives a description, severity, and troubleshooting procedure for each commonly encountered Cisco ONS 15454 alarm and condition. Tables 2-1 through 2-5 provide lists of ONS 15454 alarms organized by severity. Table 2-6 provides a list of alarms organized alphabetically. Table 2-7 gives definitions of all ONS 15454 alarm logical objects, which are the basis of the alarm profile list in Table 2-8. For a comprehensive list of all conditions and instructions for using TL1 commands, refer to the Cisco ONS SONET TL1 Command Guide .

An alarm's troubleshooting procedure applies to both the Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) and TL1 version of that alarm. If the troubleshooting procedure does not clear the alarm, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call the Cisco Technical Assistance Center 1 800 553-2447.

For more information about alarm profiles, refer to the "Manage Alarms" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

2.1  Alarm Indexes by Default Severity

The following tables group alarms and conditions by their default severities in the ONS 15454 system. These severities are the same whether they are reported in the CTC Alarms window severity (SEV) column or in TL1.

---

Note The CTC default alarm profile contains some alarms or conditions that are not currently implemented but are reserved for future use.

---

---

Note The CTC default alarm profile in some cases contains two severities for one alarm (for example, MJ/MN). The ONS 15454 platform default severity comes first (in this example, MJ), but the alarm can be demoted to the second severity in the presence of a higher-ranking alarm. This is in accordance with Telcordia GR-474.

2.3  Alarm Logical Objects

The CTC alarm profile list organizes all alarms and conditions according to the logical objects they are raised against. These logical objects represent physical objects such as cards, logical objects such as circuits, or transport and signal monitoring entities such as the SONET or ITU-T G.709 optical overhead bits. One alarm can appear in multiple entries. It can be raised against multiple objects. For example, the loss of signal (LOS) alarm can be raised against the optical signal (OC-N) or the optical transport layer overhead (OTN) as well as other objects. Therefore, both OCN: LOS and OTN: LOS appear in the list (as well as the other objects).

Alarm profile list objects are defined in Table 2-7.

---

Note Alarm logical object names can appear as abbreviated versions of standard terms used in the system and the documentation. For example, the "OCN" logical object refers to the OC-N signal. Logical object names or industry-standard terms are used within the entries as appropriate.

2.4  Alarm List by Logical Object Type

Table 2-8 lists all ONS 15454 Release 7.2 alarms and logical objects as they are given in the system alarm profile. The list entries are organized by logical object name and then by alarm or condition name. Where appropriate, the alarm entries also contain troubleshooting procedures.

---

Note In a mixed network containing different types of nodes (such as ONS 15310-CL, ONS 15454, and ONS 15600), the initially displayed alarm list in the Provisioning > Alarm Profiles > Alarm Profile Editor tab lists all conditions that are applicable to all nodes in the network. However, when you load the default severity profile from a node, only applicable alarms will display severity levels. Nonapplicable alarms can display "use default" or "unset."

---

---

Note In some cases this list does not follow alphabetical order, but it does reflect the order shown in CTC.

2.5  Trouble Notifications

The ONS 15454 system reports trouble by utilizing standard alarm and condition characteristics, standard severities following the rules in Telcordia GR-253-CORE, and graphical user interface (GUI) state indicators.These notifications are described in the following paragraphs.

The ONS 15454 uses standard Telcordia categories to characterize levels of trouble. The system reports trouble notifications as alarms and status or descriptive notifications (if configured to do so) as conditions in the CTC Alarms window. Alarms typically signify a problem that the user needs to remedy, such as a loss of signal. Conditions do not necessarily require troubleshooting.

2.5.1  Alarm Characteristics

The ONS 15454 uses standard alarm entities to identify what is causing trouble. All alarms stem from hardware, software, environment, or operator-originated problems whether or not they affect service. Current alarms for the network, CTC session, node, or card are listed in the Alarms tab. (In addition, cleared alarms are also found in the History tab.)

2.5.2  Condition Characteristics

Conditions include any problem detected on an ONS 15454 shelf. They can include standing or transient notifications. A snapshot of all current raised, standing conditions on the network, node, or card can be retrieved in the CTC Conditions window or using TL1's set of RTRV-COND commands. (In addition, some but not all cleared conditions are also found in the History tab.)

For a comprehensive list of all conditions, refer to the Cisco ONS SONET TL1 Command Guide . For more information about transient conditions, see Chapter 3, "Transient Conditions."

---

Note When an entity is put in the OOS,MT administrative state, the ONS 15454 suppresses all standing alarms on that entity and alarms and events appear on the Conditions tab. You can change this behavior for the LPBKFACILITY and LPBKTERMINAL alarms. To display these alarms on the Alarms tab, set the NODE.general.ReportLoopbackConditionsOnPortsInOOS-MT value to TRUE on the NE Defaults tab. For more information about changing NE defaults, refer to the "Maintain the Node" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

---

2.5.3  Severities

The ONS 15454 uses Telcordia-devised standard severities for alarms and conditions: Critical (CR), Major (MJ), Minor (MN), Not Alarmed (NA) and Not Reported (NR). These are described below:

•A Critical (CR) alarm generally indicates severe, Service-Affecting (SA) trouble that needs immediate correction. Loss of traffic on an STS-1, which can hold 28 DS-1 circuits, would be a Critical (CR), Service-Affecting (SA) alarm.

•A Major (MJ) alarm is a serious alarm, but the trouble has less impact on the network. For example, loss of traffic on more than five DS-1 circuits is Critical (CR), but loss of traffic on one to four DS-1 circuits is Major (MJ).

•Minor (MN) alarms generally are those that do not affect service. For example, the automatic protection switching (APS) byte failure (APSB) alarm indicates that line terminating equipment (LTE) detects a byte failure on the signal that could prevent traffic from properly executing a traffic switch.

•Not Alarmed (NA) conditions are information indicators, such as for free-run synchronization state (FRNGSYNC) or a forced-switch to primary (FRCSWTOPRI) timing event. They could or could not require troubleshooting, as indicated in the entries.

•Not Reported (NR) conditions occur as a secondary result of another event. For example, the alarm indication signal (AIS), with severity NR, is inserted by a downstream node when an LOS (CR or MJ) alarm occurs upstream. These conditions do not in themselves require troubleshooting, but are to be expected in the presence of primary alarms.

Severities can be customized for an entire network or for single nodes, from the network level down to the port level by changing or downloading customized alarm profiles. These custom severities are subject to the standard severity-demoting rules given in Telcordia GR-474-CORE and shown in the "Alarm Hierarchy" section. Procedures for customizing alarm severities are located in the "Manage Alarms" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

2.5.4  Alarm Hierarchy

All alarm, condition, and unreported event severities listed in this manual are default profile settings. However in situations when traffic is not lost, such as when the alarm occurs on protected ports or circuits, alarms having Critical (CR) or Major (MJ) default severities can be demoted to lower severities such as Minor (MN) or Non-Service-Affecting (NSA) as defined in Telcordia GR-474-CORE.

A path alarm can be demoted if a higher-ranking alarm is raised for the same object. For example, If a path trace identifier mismatch (TIM-P) is raised on a circuit path and then a loss of pointer on the path (LOP-P) is raised on the path, the LOP-P alarm stands and the TIM-P closes. The path alarm hierarchy used in the ONS 15454 system is shown in Table 2-9.

Table 2-9 Path Alarm Hierarchy 

Priority	Condition Type
Highest	AIS-P
—	LOP-P
—	UNEQ-P
Lowest	TIM-P

Facility (port) alarms also follow a hierarchy, which means that lower-ranking alarms are closed by higher-ranking alarms. The facility alarm hierarchy used in the ONS 15454 is shown in Table 2-10.

Table 2-10 Facility Alarm Hierarchy

Priority	Condition Type
Highest	LOS
—	LOF
—	AIS-L
—	SF-L
—	SD-L
—	RFI-L
—	TIM-S
—	AIS-P
—	LOP-P
—	SF-P
—	SD-P
—	UNEQ-P
—	TIM-P
Lowest	PLM-P

Near-end failures and far-end failures follow different hierarchies. Near-end failures stand according to whether they are for the entire signal (LOS, LOF), facility (AIS-L), path (AIS-P, etc.) or VT (AIS-V, etc.). The full hierarchy for near-end failures is shown in Table 2-11. This table is taken from Telcordia GR-253-CORE.

Table 2-11 Near-End Alarm Hierarchy

Lowest	DS-N AIS (if reported for outgoing DS-N signals)

1 Although it is not defined as a defect or failure, all-ones STS pointer relay is also higher priority than LOP-P. Similarly, all-ones VT pointer relay is higher priority than LOP-V. 2 LOP-P is also higher priority than the far-end failure RFI-P, which does not affect the detection of any near-end failures. Similarly, LOP-V is higher priority than RFI-V.

The far-end failure alarm hierarchy is shown in Table 2-12, as given in Telcordia GR-253-CORE.

2.5.5  Service Effect

Service-Affecting (SA) alarms—those that interrupt service—could be Critical (CR), Major (MJ), or Minor (MN) severity alarms. Service-Affecting (SA) alarms indicate service is affected. Non-Service-Affecting (NSA) alarms always have a Minor (MN) default severity.

2.5.6  States

The Alarms or History tab State (ST) column indicate the disposition of the alarm or condition as follows:

•A raised (R) event is one that is active.

•A cleared (C) event is one that is no longer active.

•A transient (T) event is one that is automatically raised and cleared in CTC during system changes such as user login, logout, loss of connection to node view, etc. Transient events do not require user action. These are listed in Chapter 3, "Transient Conditions."

2.6  Safety Summary

This section covers safety considerations designed to ensure safe operation of the ONS 15454. Personnel should not perform any procedures in this chapter unless they understand all safety precautions, practices, and warnings for the system equipment.

2.7  Alarm Procedures

This section list alarms alphabetically and includes some conditions commonly encountered when troubleshooting alarms. The severity, description, and troubleshooting procedure accompany each alarm and condition.

---

Note When you check the status of alarms for cards, ensure that the alarm filter icon in the lower right corner of the GUI is not indented. If it is, click it to turn it off. When you are done checking for alarms, you can click the alarm filter icon again to turn filtering back on. For more information about alarm filtering, refer to the "Manage Alarms" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

---

---

Note When checking alarms, ensure that alarm suppression is not enabled on the card or port. For more information about alarm suppression, refer to the "Manage Alarms" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

---

---

Note When an entity is put in the OOS,MT administrative state, the ONS 15454 suppresses all standing alarms on that entity and alarms and events appear on the Conditions tab. You can change this behavior for the LPBKFACILITY and LPBKTERMINAL alarms. To display these alarms on the Alarms tab, set the NODE.general.ReportLoopbackConditionsOnPortsInOOS-MT value to TRUE on the NE Defaults tab. For more information about changing NE defaults, refer to the "Maintain the Node" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

2.7.1  AIS

Default Severity: Not Reported (NR), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SONET Logical Objects: BITS, DS1, DS3, E1, FUDC, MSUDC

DWDM Logical Object: TRUNK

The Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) condition indicates that this node is detecting an alarm indication signal in the incoming signal SONET overhead.

Generally, any AIS is a special SONET signal that communicates to the receiving node when the transmit node does not send a valid signal. AIS is not considered an error. It is raised by the receiving node on each input when it detects the AIS instead of a real signal. In most cases when this condition is raised, an upstream node is raising an alarm to indicate a signal failure; all nodes downstream from it only raise some type of AIS. This condition clears when you resolved the problem on the upstream node.

---

Note ONS 15454 DS-3 terminal (inward) loopbacks do not transmit an AIS in the direction away from the loopback. Instead of AIS, a continuance of the signal transmitted into the loopback is provided. A DS3/EC1-48 card can be provisioned to transmit AIS for a terminal loopback.

---

Clear the AIS Condition

---

Step 1 Determine whether there are alarms on the upstream nodes and equipment, especially the "LOS (OCN)" alarm on page 2-158, or if there are out-of-service (OOS,MT or OOS,DSBLD) ports.

Step 2 Clear the upstream alarms using the applicable procedures in this chapter.

Step 3 If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC 1 800 553-2447.

---

2.7.2  AIS-L

Default Severity: Not Reported (NR), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SONET Logical Objects: EC1, OCN

DWDM Logical Object: TRUNK

The AIS Line condition indicates that this node is detecting line-level AIS in the incoming signal. This alarm is secondary to another alarm occurring simultaneously in an upstream node.

This condition can also be raised in conjunction with the "TIM-S" alarm, page 2-239 if AIS-L is enabled.

---

Note ONS 15454 DS-3 terminal (inward) loopbacks do not transmit an AIS in the direction away from the loopback. Instead of AIS, a continuance of the signal transmitted into the loopback is provided. A DS3/EC1-48 card can be provisioned to transmit AIS for a terminal loopback.

---

Clear the AIS-L Condition

---

Step 1 Complete the "Clear the AIS Condition" procedure.

Step 2 If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC 1 800 553-2447.

---

2.7.3  AIS-P

Default Severity: Not Reported (NR), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SONET Logical Objects: STSMON, STSTRM

The AIS Path condition means that this node is detecting AIS in the incoming path. This alarm is secondary to another alarm occurring simultaneously in an upstream node.

Clear the AIS-P Condition

---

Step 1 Complete the "Clear the AIS Condition" procedure.

Step 2 If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC 1 800 553-2447.

---

2.7.4  AIS-V

Default Severity: Not Reported (NR), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SONET Logical Objects: VT-MON, VT-TERM

The AIS VT condition means that this node is detecting AIS in the incoming VT-level path.

See the "1.11.2  AIS-V on DS3XM-6 or DS3XM-12 Unused VT Circuits" section on page 1-128 for more information.

Clear the AIS-V Condition

---

Step 1 Complete the "Clear the AIS Condition" procedure.

Step 2 If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC 1 800 553-2447.

2.7.11  APSB

Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SONET Logical Object: OCN

The APS Channel Byte Failure alarm occurs when LTE detects protection switching byte failure or an invalid switching code in the incoming APS signal. Some older SONET not manufactured by Cisco send invalid APS codes if they are configured in a 1+1 protection group with newer SONET nodes, such as the ONS 15454. These invalid codes cause an APSB alarm on an ONS 15454.

---

Step 1 Use an optical test set to examine the incoming SONET overhead to confirm inconsistent or invalid K bytes. For specific procedures to use the test set equipment, consult the manufacturer. If corrupted K bytes are confirmed and the upstream equipment is functioning properly, the upstream equipment might not interoperate effectively with the ONS 15454.

Step 2 If the alarm does not clear and the overhead shows inconsistent or invalid K bytes, you could need to replace the upstream cards for protection switching to operate properly. Complete the "Physically Replace a Traffic Card" procedure.

Step 3 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC 1 800 553-2447.

---

2.7.12  APSCDFLTK

Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SONET Logical Object: OCN

The APS Default K Byte Received alarm occurs during bidirectional line switched ring (BLSR) provisioning or when a BLSR is not properly configured, for example, when a four-node BLSR has one node configured as a path protection. When this misconfiguration occurs, a node in a path protection or 1+1 configuration does not send the two valid K1/K2 APS bytes anticipated by a system configured for BLSR. One of the bytes sent is considered invalid by the BLSR configuration. The K1/K2 byte is monitored by receiving equipment for link-recovery information.

Troubleshooting for APSCDFLTK is often similar to troubleshooting for the "BLSROSYNC" alarm on page 2-55.

Clear the APSCDFLTK Alarm

---

Step 1 Complete the "Identify a BLSR Ring Name or Node ID Number" procedure to verify that each node has a unique node ID number.

Step 2 Repeat Step 1 for all nodes in the ring.

Step 3 If two nodes have the same node ID number, complete the "Change a BLSR Node ID Number" procedure to change one node ID number so that each node ID is unique.

Step 4 If the alarm does not clear, verify correct configuration of east port and west port optical fibers. (See the "E-W-MISMATCH" alarm on page 2-86.) West port fibers must connect to east port fibers and east port fibers must connect to west port fibers. The "Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide provides procedures for fibering BLSRs.

Step 5 If the alarm does not clear and the network is a four-fiber BLSR, ensure that each protect fiber is connected to another protect fiber and each working fiber is connected to another working fiber. The software does not report any alarm if a working fiber is incorrectly attached to a protect fiber.

Step 6 If the alarm does not clear, complete the "Verify Node Visibility for Other Nodes" procedure.

Step 7 If nodes are not visible, complete the "Verify or Create Node Section DCC Terminations" procedure to ensure that section data communications channel (SDCC) terminations exist on each node.

Step 8 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC 1 800 553-2447.

---

2.7.13  APSC-IMP

Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SONET Logical Object: OCN

An Improper SONET APS Code alarm indicates three consecutive, identical frames containing:

•Unused code in bits 6 through 8 of byte K2.

•Codes that are irrelevant to the specific protection switching operation being requested.

•Requests that are irrelevant to the ring state of the ring (such as a span protection switch request in a two-fiber ring NE).

•ET code in K2 bits 6 through 8 received on the incoming span, but not sourced from the outgoing span.

---

Note This alarm can occur on a VT tunnel when it does not have VT circuits provisioned on it. It can also occur when the exercise command or a lockout is applied to a span. An externally switched span does not raise this alarm because traffic is preempted.

---

---

Note The APSC-IMP alarm may be raised on a BLSR or MS-SPRing when a drop connection is part of a cross-connect loopback.

---

---

Note The APSC-IMP alarm may be momentarily raised on BLSR spans during PCA circuit creation or deletion across multiple nodes using CTC.

---

---

Warning Invisible laser radiation could be emitted from the end of the unterminated fiber cable or connector. Do not stare into the beam directly with optical instruments. Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments (for example, eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm could pose an eye hazard. Statement 1056

---

---

Warning Use of controls, adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified could result in hazardous radiation exposure. Statement 1057

---

Clear the APSC-IMP Alarm

---

Step 1 Use an optical test set to determine the validity of the K byte signal by examining the received signal. For specific procedures to use the test set equipment, consult the manufacturer.

---

Caution Always use the supplied electrostatic discharge wristband when working with a powered ONS 15454. Plug the wristband cable into the ESD jack located on the lower-right edge of the shelf assembly.

---

If the K byte is invalid, the problem lies with upstream equipment and not with the reporting ONS 15454. Troubleshoot the upstream equipment using the procedures in this chapter, as applicable. If the upstream nodes are not ONS 15454s, consult the appropriate user documentation.

Step 2 If the K byte is valid, verify that each node has a ring name that matches the other node ring names. Complete the "Identify a BLSR Ring Name or Node ID Number" procedure.

Step 3 Repeat Step 2 for all nodes in the ring.

Step 4 If a node has a ring name that does not match the other nodes, make that node's ring name identical to the other nodes. Complete the "Change a BLSR Ring Name" procedure.

Step 5 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC 1 800 553-2447.

---

2.7.14  APSCINCON

Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SONET Logical Object: OCN

An APS Inconsistent alarm means that an inconsistent APS byte is present. The SONET overhead contains K1/K2 APS bytes that notify receiving equipment, such as the ONS 15454, to switch the SONET signal from a working to a protect path when necessary. An inconsistent APS code occurs when three consecutive frames contain nonidentical APS bytes, which in turn give the receiving equipment conflicting commands about switching.

Clear the APSCINCON Alarm

---

Step 1 Look for other alarms, especially the "LOS (OCN)" alarm on page 2-158, the "LOF (OCN)" alarm on page 2-145, or the "AIS" condition on page 2-34. Clearing these alarms clears the APSCINCON alarm.

Step 2 If an APSINCON alarm occurs with no other alarms, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC 1 800 553-2447.

---

2.7.15  APSCM

Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA)

SONET Logical Object: OCN

The APS Channel Mismatch alarm occurs when the ONS 15454 expects a working channel but receives a protect channel. In many cases, the working and protect channels are crossed and the protect channel is active. If the fibers are crossed and the working line is active, the alarm does not occur. The APSCM alarm occurs only on the ONS 15454 when bidirectional protection is used on OC-N cards in a 1+1 protection group configuration. The APSCM alarm does not occur in an optimized 1+1 protection configuration.

---

Warning On the ONS 15454 OC-192 card, the laser is on when the card is booted and the safety key is in the on position (labeled 1). The port does not have to be in service for the laser to be on. The laser is off when the safety key is off (labeled 0). Statement 293

---

---

Warning Invisible laser radiation could be emitted from the end of the unterminated fiber cable or connector. Do not stare into the beam directly with optical instruments. Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments (for example, eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm could pose an eye hazard. Statement 1056

---

---

Warning Use of controls, adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified could result in hazardous radiation exposure. Statement 1057

---

Clear the APSCM Alarm

---

Caution Always use the supplied electrostatic discharge wristband when working with a powered ONS 15454. Plug the wristband cable into the ESD jack located on the lower-right edge of the shelf assembly.

---

---

Step 1 Verify that the working-card channel fibers are physically connected directly to the adjoining node's working-card channel fibers.

Step 2 If the fibers are correctly connected, verify that the protection-card channel fibers are physically connected directly to the adjoining node's protection-card channel fibers.

Step 3 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC 1 800 553-2447 in order to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.

---

2.7.16  APSCNMIS

Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA)

SONET Logical Object: OCN

The APS Node ID Mismatch alarm occurs when the source node ID contained in the incoming APS channel K2 byte is not present in the ring map. The APSCNMIS alarm could occur and clear when a BLSR is being provisioned. If so, you can disregard the temporary occurrence. If the APSCNMIS remains, the alarm clears when a K byte with a valid source node ID is received.

Clear the APSCNMIS Alarm

---

Step 1 Complete the "Identify a BLSR Ring Name or Node ID Number" procedure to verify that each node has a unique node ID number.

Step 2 If the Node ID column contains any two nodes with the same node ID listed, record the repeated node ID.

Step 3 Click Close in the Ring Map dialog box.

Step 4 If two nodes have the same node ID number, complete the "Change a BLSR Node ID Number" procedure to change one node ID number so that each node ID is unique.

---

Note If the node names shown in the network view do not correlate with the node IDs, log into each node and click the Provisioning > BLSR tabs. The BLSR window shows the node ID of the login node.

---

---

Note Applying and removing a lockout on a span causes the ONS node to generate a new K byte. The APSCNMIS alarm clears when the node receives a K byte containing the correct node ID.

---

Step 5 If the alarm does not clear, use the "Initiate a Lockout on a BLSR Protect Span" procedure to lock out the span.

Step 6 Complete the "Clear a BLSR External Switching Command" procedure to clear the lockout.

Step 7 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC 1 800 553-2447 in order to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.

---

2.7.17  APSIMP

Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SONET Logical Object: OCN

The APS Invalid Code alarm occurs if a 1+1 protection group is not properly configured at both nodes to send or receive the correct APS byte. A node that is either configured for no protection or is configured for path protection or BLSR protection does not send the right K2 APS byte anticipated by a system configured for 1+1 protection. The 1+1 protect port monitors the incoming K2 APS byte and raises this alarm if it does not receive the byte.

The alarm is superseded by an APSCM or APSMM alarm, but not by an AIS condition. It clears when the port receives a valid code for 10 ms.

Clear the APSIMP Alarm

---

Step 1 Check the configuration of the other node in the 1+1 protection group. If the far end is not configured for 1+1 protection, create the group. For procedures, refer to the "Turn Up Node" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

Step 2 If the other end of the group is properly configured or the alarm does not clear after you have provisioned the group correctly, verify that the working ports and protect ports are cabled correctly.

Step 3 Ensure that both protect ports are configured for SONET.

Step 4 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC 1 800 553-2447.

---

2.7.18  APS-INV-PRIM

Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service Affecting (NSA)

SONET Logical Object: OCN

The Optimized 1+1 APS Primary Facility condition occurs on OC-N cards in an optimized 1+1 protection system if the incoming primary section header does not indicate whether it is primary or secondary.

---

Note APS-INV-PRIM is an informational condition and does not require troubleshooting. If the APS switch is related to other alarms, troubleshoot these alarms as necessary using the procedures in this chapter.

---

2.7.19  APSMM

Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SONET Logical Object: OCN

An APS Mode Mismatch failure alarm occurs on OC-N cards when there is a mismatch of the protection switching schemes at the two ends of the span, such as being bidirectional at one end and unidirectional at the other. Each end of a span must be provisioned the same way: bidirectional and bidirectional, or unidirectional and unidirectional. APSMM can also occur if third-party equipment is provisioned as 1:N and the ONS 15454 is provisioned as 1+1.

If one end is provisioned for 1+1 protection switching and the other is provisioned for path protection switching, an APSMM alarm occurs in the ONS 15454 that is provisioned for 1+1 protection switching.

Clear the APSMM Alarm

---

Step 1 For the reporting ONS 15454, display node view and verify the protection scheme provisioning:

a. Click the Provisioning > Protection tabs.

b. Click the 1+1 protection group configured for the OC-N cards.

The chosen protection group is the protection group optically connected (with data communications channel, or DCC, connectivity) to the far end.

c. Click Edit.

d. Record whether the Bidirectional Switching check box is checked.

Step 2 Click OK in the Edit Protection Group dialog box.

Step 3 Log into the far-end node and verify that the OC-N 1+1 protection group is provisioned.

Step 4 Verify that the Bidirectional Switching check box matches the checked or unchecked condition of the box recorded in Step 1. If not, change it to match.

Step 5 Click Apply.

Step 6 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC 1 800 553-2447.

2.7.20  APS-PRIM-FAC

Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service Affecting (NSA)

SONET Logical Object: OCN

The Optimized 1+1 APS Invalid Primary Section condition occurs on OC-N cards in an optimized 1+1 protection system if there is an APS status switch between the primary and secondary facilities to identify which port is primary.

---

Note APS-PRIM-FAC is an informational condition and does not require troubleshooting. If the APS switch is related to other alarms, troubleshoot these alarms as necessary using the procedures in this chapter.

---

Clear the APS-PRIM-FAC Condition

---

Step 1 This condition clears when the card receives a valid primary section indication (1 or 2).

Step 2 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC 1 800 553-2447.

2.7.22  AS-CMD

Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SONET Logical Objects: BPLANE, CE1000, CE100T, DS1, DS3, E1, E1000F, E100T, EC1, EQPT, FCMR, G1000, GFP-FAC, ML1000, ML100T, MLFX, NE, OCN, PWR

DWDM Logical Objects: 2R, AOTS, ESCON, FC, GE, ISC, OCH, OMS, OTS, PPM, SHELF, TRUNK

The Alarms Suppressed by User Command condition applies to the network element (NE object), backplane, a single card, or a port on a card. It occurs when alarms are suppressed for that object and its subordinate objects. For example, suppressing alarms on a card also suppresses alarms on its ports.

---

Note For more information about suppressing alarms, refer to the "Manage Alarms" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

---

Clear the AS-CMD Condition

---

Step 1 For all nodes, in node view, click the Conditions tab.

Step 2 Click Retrieve. If you have already retrieved conditions, look under the Object column and Eqpt Type column and note what entity the condition is reported against, such as a port, slot, or shelf.

•If the condition is reported against a slot and card, alarms were either suppressed for the entire card or for one of the ports. Note the slot number and continue with Step 3.

•If the condition is reported against the backplane, go to Step 7.

•If the condition is reported against the NE object, go to Step 8.

Step 3 Determine whether alarms are suppressed for a port and if so, raise the suppressed alarms:

a. Double-click the card to open the card view.

b. Click the Provisioning > Alarm Profiles > Alarm Behavior tabs and complete one of the following substeps:

•If the Suppress Alarms column check box is checked for a port row, deselect it and click Apply.

•If the Suppress Alarms column check box is not checked for a port row, from the View menu choose  Go to Previous View.

Step 4 If the AS-CMD condition is reported for a card and not an individual port, in node view click the Provisioning > Alarm Profiles > Alarm Behavior tabs.

Step 5 Locate the row number for the reported card slot.

Step 6 Click the Suppress Alarms column check box to deselect the option for the card row.

Step 7 If the condition is reported for the backplane, the alarms are suppressed for cards such as the ONS 15454 AIP that are not in the optical or electrical slots. To clear the alarm, complete the following steps:

a. In node view, click the Provisioning > Alarm Profiles > Alarm Behavior tabs.

b. In the backplane row, uncheck the Suppress Alarms column check box.

c. Click Apply.

Step 8 If the condition is reported for the shelf, cards and other equipment are affected. To clear the alarm, complete the following steps:

2.7.28  AUTONEG-RFI

Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA)

SONET Logical Object: ML1000

The autonegotiation remote fault indication (RFI) indicates that an ML1000 Gigabit Ethernet port cannot detect its far-end link partner. This is typically caused by a far-end port shutdown or a unidirectional fiber cut. The partner node is likely raising a CARLOSS alarm.

AUTONEG-RFI may also be caused by misconfigured autonegotiation parameters. This causes more of a soft failure as opposed to the "CARLOSS (ML1000, ML100T, MLFX)" alarm, page 2-63, which is typically caused by a failure like a loss of light or optical fiber. The alarm clears the partner node is detected.

---

Note The far end of an Ethernet link is usually a switch or router that does not use an ONS management system.

---

Clear the AUTONEG-RFI Alarm

---

Step 1 Check for a "CARLOSS (EQPT)" alarm on page 2-58, or "CARLOSS (ML1000, ML100T, MLFX)" alarm on page 2-63, at the partner node. If the alarm exists there, follow the appropriate clearing procedure in this chapter.

Step 2 If the alarm does not clear or if there is no far-end CARLOSS, check the near-end Gigabit Ethernet port autonegotiation settings:

a. Double-click the ML1000 card to display the card view.

b. Click the upper IOS tab, then click Open IOS Connection.

c. In Privileged Executive mode, enter the following command:

router# show interface gigabitethernet 0

d. View the command output and record the autonegotiation setting, such as the following example:

Full-duplex, 1000Mb/s, Gbic not connected, Auto-negotiation

output flow-control is off, input flow-control is on

Step 3 View the autonegotiation configuration for the partner node. If it is ONS equipment, follow the previous step for this node. If the node is different vendor client equipment, follow that equipment documentation to obtain the information.

Step 4 If the alarm does not clear, check for any fiber breaks such as on the transmit cable from the partner node to the near-end node.

Step 5 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC 1 800 553-2447 to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.

2.7.30  AUTOSW-AIS

Default Severity: Not Reported (NR), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SONET Logical Objects: STSMON, VT-MON

The Automatic unidirectional path protection Switch Caused by an AIS condition indicates that automatic path protection switching occurred because of an AIS condition. If the path protection is configured for revertive switching, it reverts to the working path after the fault clears. The AIS also clears when the upstream trouble is cleared.

---

Note This condition is only reported if the path protection is set up for revertive switching.

---

Generally, any AIS is a special SONET signal that communicates to the receiving node when the transmit node does not send a valid signal. AIS is not considered an error. It is raised by the receiving node on each input when it detects the AIS instead of a real signal. In most cases when this condition is raised, an upstream node is raising an alarm to indicate a signal failure; all nodes downstream from it only raise some type of AIS. This condition clears when you resolved the problem on the upstream node.

Clear the AUTOSW-AIS Condition

---

Step 1 Complete the "Clear the AIS Condition" procedure.

Step 2 If the condition does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC 1 800 553-2447.

2.7.48  CARLOSS (E1000F, E100T)

Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA)

SONET Logical Objects: E1000F, E100T

A Carrier Loss alarm on the LAN E-Series Ethernet card is the data equivalent of the "LOS (OCN)" alarm on page 2-158. The Ethernet card has lost its link and is not receiving a valid signal. The most common causes of the CARLOSS alarm are a disconnected cable, an Ethernet Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) fiber connected to an optical card rather than an Ethernet device, or an improperly installed Ethernet card. Ethernet card ports must be enabled for CARLOSS to occur. CARLOSS is declared after no signal is received for approximately 2.5 seconds.

The CARLOSS alarm also occurs after a node database is restored. After restoration, the alarm clears in approximately 30 seconds after the node reestablishes Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).

---

Note For more information about Ethernet cards, refer to the Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide for the Cisco ONS 15454, Cisco ONS 15454 SDH, and Cisco ONS 15327.

---

Clear the CARLOSS (E1000F, E100T) Alarm

---

Step 1 Verify that the fiber cable is properly connected and attached to the correct port. For more information about fiber connections and terminations, refer to the "Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

---

Caution Always use the supplied electrostatic discharge wristband when working with a powered ONS 15454. Plug the wristband cable into the ESD jack located on the lower-right edge of the shelf assembly.

---

Step 2 If the fiber cable is properly connected and attached to the port, verify that the cable connects the card to another Ethernet device and is not misconnected to an OC-N card. For more information about fiber connections and terminations, refer to the "Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

Step 3 If no misconnection to an OC-N card exists, verify that the transmitting device is operational. If not, troubleshoot the device.

Step 4 If the alarm does not clear, use an Ethernet test set to determine whether a valid signal is coming into the Ethernet port. For specific procedures to use the test set equipment, consult the manufacturer.

Step 5 If a valid Ethernet signal is not present and the transmitting device is operational, replace the fiber cable connecting the transmitting device to the Ethernet port. To do this, refer to the "Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

Step 6 If a valid Ethernet signal is present, complete the "Remove and Reinsert (Reseat) Any Card" procedure for the Ethernet card.

Step 7 If the alarm does not clear, complete the "Physically Replace a Traffic Card" procedure for the Ethernet card.

Step 8 If a CARLOSS alarm repeatedly appears and clears, use the following steps to examine the layout of your network to determine whether the Ethernet circuit is part of an Ethernet manual cross-connect.

An Ethernet manual cross-connect is used when another vendor's equipment sits between ONS 15454 nodes, and the open systems interconnect/target identifier address resolution protocol (OSI/TARP)-based equipment does not allow tunneling of the ONS 15454 TCP/IP-based DCC. To circumvent a lack of continuous DCC, the Ethernet circuit is manually cross connected to an STS channel riding through the non-ONS network.

If the reporting Ethernet circuit is part of an Ethernet manual cross-connect, complete the following steps. The reappearing alarm could be a result of mismatched STS circuit sizes in the set up of the manual cross-connect. If the Ethernet circuit is not part of a manual cross-connect, the following steps do not apply.

a. Right-click anywhere in the row of the CARLOSS alarm.

b. Click Select Affected Circuits in the shortcut menu that appears.

c. Record the information in the type and size columns of the highlighted circuit.

d. From the examination of the layout of your network, determine which ONS 15454 and card and card are hosting the Ethernet circuit at the other end of the Ethernet manual cross-connect and complete the following substeps:

•Log into the ONS 15454 at the other end of the Ethernet manual cross-connect.

•Double-click the Ethernet card that is part of the Ethernet manual cross-connect.

•Click the Circuits tab.

•Record the information in the type and size columns of the circuit that is part of the Ethernet manual cross-connect. The Ethernet manual cross-connect circuit connects the Ethernet card to an OC-N card at the same node.

e. Use the information you recorded to determine whether the two Ethernet circuits on each side of the Ethernet manual cross-connect have the same circuit size.

If one of the circuit sizes is incorrect, complete the "Delete a Circuit" procedure and reconfigure the circuit with the correct circuit size. For more information, refer to the "Create Circuits and VT Tunnels" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

Step 9 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC 1 800 553-2447 in order to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.

2.7.49  CARLOSS (EQPT)

Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA)

SONET Logical Object: EQPT

A Carrier Loss on the LAN Equipment alarm generally occurs on OC-N cards when the ONS 15454 and the workstation hosting CTC do not have a TCP/IP connection. The problem involves the LAN or data circuit used by the RJ-45 (LAN) connector on the TCC2/TCC2P or the LAN backplane pin connection. This CARLOSS alarm does not involve an Ethernet circuit connected to an Ethernet port. The problem is in the connection and not CTC or the node.

On TXP_MR_10G, TXP_MR_2.5G, TXPP_MR_2.5G or MXP_2.5G_10G cards, CARLOSS is also raised against trunk ports when ITU-T G.709 monitoring is turned off.

A TXP_MR_2.5G card can raise a CARLOSS alarm when the payload is incorrectly configured for the 10 Gigabit Ethernet or 1 Gigabit Ethernet payload data types.

Clear the CARLOSS (EQPT) Alarm

---

Step 1 If the reporting card is an MXP or TXP card in an ONS 15454 node, verify the data rate configured on the pluggable port module (PPM):

a. Double-click the reporting MXP or TXP card.

b. Click the Provisioning > Pluggable Port Modules tabs.

c. View the Pluggable Port Modules area port listing in the Actual Equipment Type column and compare this with the contents of the Selected PPM area Rate column for the MXP or TXP multirate port.

d. If the rate does not match the actual equipment, you must delete and recreate the selected PPM. Select the PPM, click Delete, then click Create and choose the correct rate for the port rate.

Step 2 If the reporting card is an OC-N card, verify connectivity by pinging the ONS 15454 that is reporting the alarm by completing the "1.9.8  Verify PC Connection to the ONS 15454 (ping)" procedure on page 1-112.

Step 3 If the ping is successful, it demonstrates that an active TCP/IP connection exists. Restart CTC:

a. Exit from CTC.

b. Reopen the browser.

c. Log into CTC.

Step 4 Using optical test equipment, verify that proper receive levels are achieved. (For instructions to use optical test equipment, refer to the manufacturer documentation.)

---

Caution Always use the supplied electrostatic discharge wristband when working with a powered ONS 15454. Plug the wristband cable into the ESD jack located on the lower-right edge of the shelf assembly.

---

Step 5 Verify that the optical LAN cable is properly connected and attached to the correct port. For more information about fiber connections and terminations, refer to the "Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

Step 6 If the fiber cable is properly connected and attached to the port, verify that the cable connects the card to another Ethernet device and is not misconnected to an OC-N card.

Step 7 If you are unable to establish connectivity, replace the fiber cable with a new known-good cable. To do this, refer to the "Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

Step 8 If you are unable to establish connectivity, perform standard network or LAN diagnostics. For example, trace the IP route, verify cable continuity, and troubleshoot any routers between the node and CTC. To verify cable continuity, follow site practices.

Step 9 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC 1 800 553-2447 in order to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.

2.7.50  CARLOSS (FC)

For information about this alarm or condition, refer to the "Alarm Troubleshooting" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide. This guide discusses all DWDM alarms.

2.7.51  CARLOSS (G1000)

Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA)

SONET Logical Object: G1000

A Carrier Loss alarm on the LAN G-Series Ethernet card is the data equivalent of the "LOS (OCN)" alarm on page 2-158. The Ethernet card has lost its link and is not receiving a valid signal.

CARLOSS on the G1000-4 card is caused by one of two situations:

•The G1000-4 port reporting the alarm is not receiving a valid signal from the attached Ethernet device. The CARLOSS can be caused by an improperly connected Ethernet cable or a problem with the signal between the Ethernet device and the G1000-4 port.

•If a problem exists in the end-to-end path (including possibly the far-end G1000-4 card), it causes the reporting card to turn off the Gigabit Ethernet transmitter. Turning off the transmitter typically causes the attached device to turn off its link laser, which results in a CARLOSS on the reporting G1000-4 card. The root cause is the problem in the end-to-end path. When the root cause is cleared, the far-end G1000-4 port turns the transmitter laser back on and clears the CARLOSS on the reporting card. If a turned-off transmitter causes the CARLOSS alarm, other alarms such as the "TPTFAIL (G1000)" alarm on page 2-241 or OC-N alarms or conditions on the end-to-end path normally accompany the CARLOSS (G1000) alarm.

Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual for a description of the G1000-4 card's end-to-end Ethernet link integrity capability. Also see the "TRMT" alarm on page 2-243 for more information about alarms that occur when a point-to-point circuit exists between two cards.

Ethernet card ports must be enabled for CARLOSS to occur. CARLOSS is declared after no signal is received for approximately 2.5 seconds.

---

Note For more information about Ethernet cards, refer to the Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide for the Cisco ONS 15454, Cisco ONS 15454 SDH, and Cisco ONS 15327.

---

Clear the CARLOSS (G1000) Alarm

---

Step 1 Verify that the fiber cable is properly connected and attached to the correct port. For more information about fiber connections and terminations, refer to the "Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

---

Caution Always use the supplied electrostatic discharge wristband when working with a powered ONS 15454. Plug the wristband cable into the ESD jack located on the lower-right edge of the shelf assembly.

---

Step 2 If the fiber cable is correctly connected and attached, verify that the cable connects the card to another Ethernet device and is not misconnected to an OC-N card.

Step 3 If no misconnection to the OC-N card exists, verify that the attached transmitting Ethernet device is operational. If not, troubleshoot the device.

Step 4 Verify that optical receive levels are within the normal range. The correct specifications are listed in the "1.12.3  OC-N Card Transmit and Receive Levels" section on page 1-140.

Step 5 If the alarm does not clear, use an Ethernet test set to determine whether a valid signal is coming into the Ethernet port. For specific procedures to use the test set equipment, consult the manufacturer.

Step 6 If a valid Ethernet signal is not present and the transmitting device is operational, replace the fiber cable connecting the transmitting device to the Ethernet port. To do this, refer to the "Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

Step 7 If the alarm does not clear, and link autonegotiation is enabled on the port but the autonegotiation process fails, the card turns off its transmitter laser and reports a CARLOSS alarm. If link autonegotiation has been enabled for the port, determine whether there are conditions that could cause autonegotiation to fail:

a. Confirm that the attached Ethernet device has autonegotiation enabled and is configured for compatibility with the asymmetric flow control on the card.

b. Confirm that the attached Ethernet device configuration allows reception of flow control frames.

Step 8 If the alarm does not clear, disable and reenable the Ethernet port to attempt to remove the CARLOSS condition. (The autonegotiation process restarts.)

Step 9 If the alarm does not clear and the "TPTFAIL (G1000)" alarm on page 2-241 is also reported, complete the "Clear the TPTFAIL (G1000) Alarm" procedure. If the TPTFAIL alarm is not raised, continue to the next step.

---

Note When the CARLOSS and the TPTFAIL alarms are reported, the reason for the condition could be the G1000-4 card's end-to-end link integrity feature taking action on a remote failure indicated by the TPTFAIL alarm.

---

Step 10 If the TPTFAIL alarm was not raised, determine whether a terminal (inward) loopback has been provisioned on the port:

a. In node view, click the card to go to card view.

b. Click the Maintenance > Loopback tabs.

c. If the service state is listed as OOS-MA,LPBK&MT, a loopback is provisioned. Go to Step 11.

Step 11 If a loopback was provisioned, complete the "Clear Other Electrical Card or Ethernet Card Loopbacks" procedure.

On the G1000-4, provisioning a terminal (inward) loopback causes the transmit laser to turn off. If an attached Ethernet device detects the loopback as a loss of carrier, the attached Ethernet device shuts off the transmit laser to the G1000-4 card. Terminating the transmit laser could raise the CARLOSS alarm because the loopbacked G1000-4 port detects the termination.

If the does not have a loopback condition, continue to Step 12.

Step 12 If a CARLOSS alarm repeatedly appears and clears, the reappearing alarm could be a result of mismatched STS circuit sizes in the setup of the manual cross-connect. Perform the following steps if the Ethernet circuit is part of a manual cross-connect:

---

Note An ONS 15454 Ethernet manual cross-connect is used when another vendor's equipment sits between ONS nodes, and the OSI/TARP-based equipment does not allow tunneling of the ONS 15454 TCP/IP-based DCC. To circumvent a lack of continuous DCC, the Ethernet circuit is manually cross connected to an STS channel riding through the non-ONS network.

---

a. Right-click anywhere in the row of the CARLOSS alarm.

b. Right-click or left-click Select Affected Circuits in the shortcut menu that appears.

c. Record the information in the type and size columns of the highlighted circuit.

d. Examine the layout of your network and determine which ONS 15454 and card are hosting the Ethernet circuit at the other end of the Ethernet manual cross-connect and complete the following substeps:

•Log into the node at the other end of the Ethernet manual cross-connect.

•Double-click the Ethernet card that is part of the Ethernet manual cross-connect.

•Click the Circuits tab.

•Record the information in the type and size columns of the circuit that is part of the Ethernet manual cross-connect. The cross-connect circuit connects the Ethernet card to an OC-N card at the same node.

e. Determine whether the two Ethernet circuits on each side of the Ethernet manual cross-connect have the same circuit size from the circuit size information you recorded.

f. If one of the circuit sizes is incorrect, complete the "Delete a Circuit" procedure and reconfigure the circuit with the correct circuit size. Refer to the "Create Circuits and VT Tunnels" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide for detailed procedures to create circuits.

Step 13 If a valid Ethernet signal is present, complete the "Remove and Reinsert (Reseat) Any Card" procedure.

Step 14 If the alarm does not clear, complete the "Physically Replace a Traffic Card" procedure for the Ethernet card.

Step 15 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC 1 800 553-2447 in order to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.

2.7.54  CARLOSS (ML1000, ML100T, MLFX)

Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA)

SONET Logical Objects: ML1000, ML100T, MLFX

A Carrier Loss alarm on an ML-Series Ethernet card is the data equivalent of the "LOS (OCN)" alarm on page 2-158. The Ethernet port has lost its link and is not receiving a valid signal.

A CARLOSS alarm occurs when the Ethernet port has been configured from the Cisco IOS command line interface (CLI) as a no-shutdown port and one of the following problems also occurs:

•The cable is not properly connected to the near or far port.

•Autonegotiation is failing (which raises the "AUTONEG-RFI" alarm, page 2-48).

•The speed (10/100 ports only) is set incorrectly.

---

Note For information about provisioning ML-Series Ethernet cards from the Cisco IOS interface, refer to the Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide for the Cisco ONS 15454, Cisco ONS 15454 SDH, and Cisco ONS 15327.

Clear the CARLOSS (ML1000, ML100T, MLFX) Alarm

---

Step 1 Verify that the LAN cable is properly connected and attached to the correct port on the ML-Series card and on the peer Ethernet port. For more information about fiber connections and terminations, refer to the "Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

Step 2 If the alarm does not clear, verify that autonegotiation is set properly on the ML-Series card port and the peer Ethernet port.

Step 3 If the alarm does not clear, verify that the speed is set properly on the ML-Series card port and the peer Ethernet port if you are using 10/100 ports.

Step 4 If the alarm does not clear, the Ethernet signal is not valid, but the transmitting device is operational, replace the LAN cable connecting the transmitting device to the Ethernet port.

Step 5 If the alarm does not clear, disable and reenable the Ethernet port by performing a "shutdown" and then a "no shutdown" on the Cisco IOS CLI as in the following example:

router(config)# shut

router(config)# no shut

This action restarts autonegotiation.

Step 6 If the alarm does not clear, complete the "Create the Facility Loopback on the Source DS-1, DS-3, DS3N-12, DS3i-N-12, or EC1 Port" procedure on page 1-10 and test the loopback.

Step 7 If the problem persists with the loopback installed, complete the "Remove and Reinsert (Reseat) Any Card" procedure.

Step 8 If the alarm does not clear, complete the "Physically Replace a Traffic Card" procedure.

Step 9 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC 1 800 553-2447 in order to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.
