Configuring Performance Monitoring

Performance monitoring (PM) parameters are used by service providers to gather, store, set thresholds for, and report performance data for early detection of problems. The user can retrieve both current and historical PM counters for the various controllers in 15 minutes and 1 day intervals.

PM for optical parameters include laser bias current, transmit and receive optical power, mean polarization mode dispersion, accumulated chromatic dispersion, and received optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR). These parameters simplify troubleshooting operations and enhance data that can be collected directly from the equipment.

Note

The supported MTU of data plane is as follows:

Range: 60 bytes to 10 kilobytes
Jumbo: 10 kilobytes
Undersize: 60 to 64 bytes

For descriptions of optics, Ethernet, fec, and otn parameters, see the Command Reference for Cisco NCS 1000 Series.

Configure PM Parameters

You can configure the performance monitoring parameters for the Optics, Ethernet, and coherent DSP controllers. The coherent DSP controller is created on the trunk port when the slice is provisioned using the hw-module command. To configure PM parameters, use the following commands.

configure

commit

Examples

The following is a sample in which the performance monitoring parameters of Optics controller is configured in 24 hour intervals.


configure
controller optics 0/0/0/0 pm 24-hour optics report cd max-tca enable
commit

The following is a sample in which the performance monitoring parameters of Ethernet controller is configured in 15 minute intervals.


configure

commit

The following is a sample in which the performance monitoring parameters of Coherent DSP controller is configured in 15 minute intervals.


configure

commit

Configure FEC BER Thresholds

Pre-forward error correction (FEC) bit error rate (BER) or post-FEC BER values are represented in numerical values. BER value is multiplied by 1E-15 to derive numerical value. For example, 2.1e-4 is displayed as 210000000000(2.1e+11).

The following is a sample to enable minimum and maximum TCAs for pre-FEC BER.


configure
controller coherentDSP 0/0/0/6 pm 30-sec fec report pre-fec-ber min-tca enable
controller coherentDSP 0/0/0/6 pm 30-sec fec report pre-fec-ber max-tca enable
commit

The following is a sample to enable minimum and maximum TCAs for post-FEC BER.


configure
controller coherentDSP 0/0/0/6 pm 30-sec fec report post-fec-ber min-tca enable
controller coherentDSP 0/0/0/6 pm 30-sec fec report post-fec-ber max-tca enable
commit

The following is a sample to configure pre-FEC BER thresholds of Coherent DSP controller in 30 second intervals.


configure
controller coherentDSP 0/0/0/6 pm 30-sec fec threshold pre-fec-ber max 320000000000
commit

The following is a sample to configure post-FEC BER thresholds of Coherent DSP controller in 30 second intervals.
