Monitor Performance


This chapter explains how to enable and view performance monitoring (PM) statistics for the Cisco ONS 15454. PM parameters are used by service providers to gather, store, set thresholds, and report performance data for early detection of problems. For more PM information, details, and definitions, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual.


Note Unless otherwise specified, "ONS 15454" refers to both ANSI and ETSI shelf assemblies.


Before You Begin

Before performing any of the following procedures, investigate all alarms and clear any trouble conditions. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide as necessary.

This section lists the chapter procedures (NTPs). Turn to a procedure for applicable tasks (DLPs).

1. G73 Change the PM Display—Complete as needed to change the displayed PM counts.

2. G74 Monitor DWDM Card Performance—Complete as needed to monitor dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) performance.

3. G75 Monitor Transponder and Muxponder Performance—Complete as needed to monitor transponder (TXP) and muxponder (MXP) card performance.

Step 1 In node view (single-shelf mode), or shelf view (multishelf mode), double-click the DWDM, TXP, or MXP card where you want to change the PM count display interval. The card view appears.

Step 2 Click the Performance tab.

Step 3 If you want to change the PM interval to 15 minutes for a subtab, click the relevant subtab(s), located along the left side of the Performance tab.


Note Performance subtabs vary, depending on the card viewed.


Step 4 If you want to change the PM interval to 15 minutes for a specific port, select the port from the Ports drop-down list (where available).

Step 5 Go to any of the tabs, subtabs, or ports (found in the Ports drop-down list where available) for that card where you want to set the PM count interval by clicking on the desired subtab and choosing the port from the drop-down list.

Step 6 Click the 15 min radio button.

Step 7 Click Refresh. PM parameters appear in 15-minute intervals synchronized with the time of day.

Step 8 View the Curr column to find PM counts for the current 15-minute interval.

Each monitored performance parameter has corresponding threshold values for the current time period. If the value of the counter exceeds the threshold value for a particular 15-minute interval, a threshold crossing alert (TCA) is raised. The number represents the counter value for each specific PM parameter.

Step 9 View the Prev-n columns to find PM counts for the previous 15-minute intervals.


Note If a complete 15-minute interval count is not possible, the value appears with a yellow background. An incomplete or incorrect count can be caused by monitoring for less than 15 minutes after the counter started, changing the node timing settings, changing the time zone settings, replacing a card, resetting a card, or changing port service states. When the problem is corrected, the subsequent 15-minute interval appears with a white background.


Step 10 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
