19.1 Threshold Performance Monitoring
Thresholds are used to set error levels for each PM parameter. You can set individual PM threshold values from the Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) card view Provisioning tab. For procedures about provisioning card thresholds, such as line and path thresholds, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
During the accumulation cycle, if the current value of a PM parameter reaches or exceeds its corresponding threshold value, a threshold crossing alert (TCA) is generated by the node and is displayed by CTC. TCAs provide early detection of performance degradation. When a threshold is crossed, the node continues to count the errors during a given accumulation period. If zero is entered as the threshold value, generation of TCAs is disabled but performance monitoring continues.
Note Due to memory limitations and the number of TCAs generated by different platforms, you can manually add or modify the following two properties to the platform property file (CTC.INI for Windows and.ctcrc for UNIX) to fit the need:
- ctc.15 xxx.node.tr.lowater= yyy (where xxx is platform and yyy is the number of the lowater mark. The default lowater mark is 25.)
- ctc.15 xxx.node.tr.hiwater= yyy (where xxx is platform and yyy is the number of the hiwater mark. The default hiwater mark is 50.)
If the number of the incoming TCA is greater than the hiwater mark, the node will keep the latest lowater mark and discard older ones.
Change the threshold if the default value does not satisfy your error monitoring needs. For example, customers with a critical OC192/STM64 transponder installed for 911 calls must guarantee the best quality of service on the line; therefore, they lower all thresholds on the client side so that the slightest error raises a TCA.
Note
When LOS, LOS-P, or LOF alarms occur on TXP and MXP trunks, ITU-T G.709/SONET/SDH TCAs are suppressed. For details, see Chapter18, “Alarm and TCA Monitoring and Management”
19.3 Transponder, Muxponder, Xponder, and ADM-10G Card Performance Monitoring
This section lists PM parameters for transponder cards (TXP_MR_10G, TXP_MR_2.5G, TXPP_MR_2.5G, TXP_MR_10E, TXP_MR_10E_C, and TXP_MR_10E_L, 40E-TXP-C, and 40ME-TXP-C), muxponder cards (MXP_2.5G_10G, MXP_2.5G_10E, MXP_2.5G_10E_C, MXP_2.5G_10E_L, MXP_MR_2.5G, MXPP_MR_2.5G, MXP_MR_10DME-C, MXP_MR_10DME-L, 40G-MXP-C, 40E-MXP-C, and 40ME-MXP-C), Xponder cards (GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, 10GE_XPE, OTU2_XP), and ADM-10G card. The transponder, muxponder, Xponder, and ADM-10G PM parameters are divided into Optics PM, Payload PM, and OTN PM tabs. The tabs displayed vary depending on the card installed. For more information, see the “Optics PM Window” section, the “Payload PM Window” section, or the “OTN PM Window” section.
Note
For the OTU2_XP card, if the PPM is not deleted properly from the CTC (but physically removed), the PMs continue to increase (even if the PPM is not present). To ensure the PMs do not increase when the PPM is not present, change the Service State of the PPM port to OOS (ANSI) or locked (ETSI) and move it back to IS (ANSI) or Unlocked (ETSI) state.
For ONS 15454 ANSI nodes, Figure 19-1 shows where overhead bytes detected on the application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) produce PM parameters for the TXP_MR_10G card. The remaining transponder, muxponder, Xponder, and ADM-10G cards perform similarly to this illustration.
Figure 19-1 ONS 15454 ANSI Node PM Read Points for TXP_MR_10G Card
For ONS 15454 ETSI nodes, Figure 19-2 shows where overhead bytes detected on the ASICs produce PM parameters for the TXP_MR_10G card. The remaining transponder, muxponder, Xponder, and ADM-10G cards perform similarly to this illustration.

19.3.1 Optics PM Window
The Optics PM window lists parameters at the trunk and client side for all transponder, muxponder, Xponder (GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, 10GE_XPE, OTU2_XP), and ADM-10G cards. The Optics PM window provides buttons to change the statistical values shown. The Refresh button manually refreshes statistics. Auto-Refresh sets a time interval at which automatic refresh occurs. In the Historical PM subtab, the Clear button sets the values on the card to zero. All counters on the card are cleared. The Help button activates context sensitive help. Table 19-6 lists the trunk-side and client-side optics PM parameters.

19.3.2.3 MXP_MR_2.5G/MXPP_MR_2.5G Payload Utilization Window
The Payload PM Utilization window in the card view Performance > Payload> Utilization tab shows the percentage of transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) line bandwidth used by the ports during consecutive time segments. This tab cannot be viewed unless the appropriate PPM port type is provisioned. For PPM provisioning procedures, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide. The Utilization window provides an Interval list that enables you to set time intervals of 15 minutes or 1 day. Line utilization is calculated with the following formulas:
Rx = (inOctets + inPkts * 20) * 8 / 100% interval * maxBaseRate
Tx = (outOctets + outPkts * 20) * 8 / 100% interval * maxBaseRate
The interval is defined in seconds. The maxBaseRate is defined by raw bits per second in one direction for the port (that is, 1 Gbps). The maxBaseRate for MXP_MR_2.5G and MXPP_MR_2.5G cards is shown for the ONS 15454 nodes in Table 19-17 .

Note
In certain congestion scenarios in GE_XP and 10GE_XP cards, dropped packets are counted both in ingress (IfIndiscards) and egress interface (IfOutDiscards) interface. As a result of this, some dropped packets are counted twice. The dropped packets on ingress interface can be ignored under this scenario.
19.3.4.2 Ether Ports Utilization Window
The Utilization window shows the percentage of transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) line bandwidth used by the Ethernet ports during consecutive time segments. The Mode field displays the real-time mode status, such as 100 Full, which is the mode setting configured on the E-Series port. However, if the E-Series port is set to autonegotiate the mode (Auto), this field shows the result of the link negotiation between the E-Series and the peer Ethernet device attached directly to the E-Series port.
The Utilization window provides an Interval drop-down list that enables you to set time intervals of 1 minute, 15 minutes, 1 hour, and 1 day. Line utilization is calculated with the following formulas:
Rx = (inOctets + inPkts * 20) * 8 / 100% interval * maxBaseRate
Tx = (outOctets + outPkts * 20) * 8 / 100% interval * maxBaseRate
The interval is defined in seconds. The maxBaseRate is defined by raw bits per second in one direction for the Ethernet port (that is, 1 Gbps).
19.3.4.3 Ether Ports History Window
The Ether Port History window lists past Ethernet statistics for the previous time intervals. Depending on the selected time interval, the History window displays the statistics for each port for the number of previous time intervals as shown in Table 19-24 . The parameters are defined in Table 19-23.

19.11 Pointer Justification Count Performance Monitoring
For the MultiService Transport Platform (MSTP), only the MXP_2.5G_10G card uses pointer justification counts. Pointers are used to compensate for frequency and phase variations. Pointer justification counts indicate timing errors on networks. When a network is out of synchronization, jitter and wander occur on the transported signal. Excessive wander can cause terminating equipment to slip.
Slips cause different effects in service. Voice service has intermittent audible clicks. Compressed voice technology has short transmission errors or dropped calls. Fax machines lose scanned lines or experience dropped calls. Digital video transmission has distorted pictures or frozen frames. Encryption service loses the encryption key, causing data to be transmitted again.
For ONS 15454 ANSI nodes, pointers provide a way to align the phase variations in STS and VT payloads. The STS payload pointer is located in the H1 and H2 bytes of the line overhead. Clocking differences are measured by the offset in bytes from the pointer to the first byte of the STS synchronous payload envelope (SPE) called the J1 byte. Clocking differences that exceed the normal range of 0 to 782 can cause data loss.
For ONS 15454 ETSI nodes, pointers provide a way to align the phase variations in VC4 payloads. The VC4 payload pointer is located in the H1 and H2 bytes of the AU pointers section and is a count of the number of bytes the VC4 path overhead (POH) J1 byte is away from the H3 byte, not including the section overhead bytes. Clocking differences are measured by the offset in bytes from the pointer to the first byte of the VC4 POH called the J1 byte. Clocking differences that exceed the normal range of 0 to 782 can cause data loss.
There are positive (PPJC) and negative (NPJC) pointer justification count parameters. PPJC is a count of path-detected (PPJC-PDET-P) or path-generated (PPJC-PGEN-P) positive pointer justifications. NPJC is a count of path-detected (NPJC-PDET-P) or path-generated (NPJC-PGEN-P) negative pointer justifications depending on the specific PM name. PJCDIFF is the absolute value of the difference between the total number of detected pointer justification counts and the total number of generated pointer justification counts. PJCS-PDET-P is a count of the one-second intervals containing one or more PPJC-PDET or NPJC-PDET. PJCS-PGEN-P is a count of the one-second intervals containing one or more PPJC-PGEN or NPJC-PGEN.
A consistent pointer justification count indicates clock synchronization problems between nodes. A difference between the counts means that the node transmitting the original pointer justification has timing variations with the node detecting and transmitting this count. For ONS 15454 SONET nodes, positive pointer adjustments occur when the frame rate of the SPE is too slow in relation to the rate of the STS-1. For ONS 15454 SDH nodes, positive pointer adjustments occur when the frame rate of the path overhead (POH) is too slow in relation to the rate of the VC4.
In CTC, the count fields for PPJC and NPJC PMs appear white and blank unless they are enabled on the card view Provisioning tab.
