Monitor Performance
This chapter explains how to enable and view performance monitoring statistics for the Cisco ONS 15454. Performance monitoring (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 Reference Manual.
Before You Begin
Before performing any of the following procedures, investigate all alarms and clear any trouble conditions. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide as necessary.
This section lists the chapter procedures (NTPs). Turn to a procedure for applicable tasks (DLPs).

Step 1 Complete the "DLP-A60 Log into CTC" task at the node that you want to monitor. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2
Step 2 In node view, double-click the electrical, Ethernet, optical (OC-N), multirate transport, or DWDM card where you want to view PM counts. The card view appears.
Step 3 As needed, use the following tasks to change the display of PM counts:
•A124 Refresh PM Counts at 15-Minute Intervals
•A125 Refresh PM Counts at One-Day Intervals
•A128 Monitor PM Counts for a Selected Signal
•A130 Clear Selected PM Counts
•A260 Set Auto-Refresh Interval for Displayed PM Counts
•A261 Refresh PM Counts for a Different Port
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
DLP-A124 Refresh PM Counts at 15-Minute Intervals
Step 1 In node view, double-click the card where you want to view PM counts. The card view appears.
Step 2 Click the Performance tab.
Step 3 Click the 15 min radio button.
Step 4 Click Refresh. Performance monitoring parameters appear in 15-minute intervals synchronized with the time of day.
Step 5 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 performance monitoring parameter.
Step 6 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 node timing settings, changing the time zone settings, replacing a card, resetting a card, or by changing port states. When the problem is corrected, the subsequent 15-minute interval appears with a white background.
Step 7 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-A125 Refresh PM Counts at One-Day Intervals
Step 1 In node view, double-click the card where you want to view PM counts. The card view appears.
Step 2 Click the Performance tab.
Step 3 Click the 1 day radio button.
Step 4 Click Refresh. Performance monitoring appears in 1-day intervals synchronized with the time of day.
Step 5 View the Curr column to find PM counts for the current 1-day 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 1-day interval, a threshold crossing alert (TCA) is raised. The number represents the counter value for each specific performance monitoring parameter.
Step 6 View the Prev-n columns to find PM counts for the previous 1-day intervals.
Note If a complete count over a 1-day interval is not possible, the value appears with a yellow background. An incomplete or incorrect count can be caused by monitoring for less than 24 hours after the counter started, changing node timing settings, changing the time zone settings, replacing a card, resetting a card, or by changing port states. When the problem is corrected, the subsequent 1-day interval appears with a white background.
Step 7 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-A126 View Near-End PM Counts
Step 1 In node view, double-click the card where you want to view PM counts. The card view appears.
Step 2 Click the Performance tab.

Step 6 View the Prev-n columns to find PM counts for the previous time intervals.
Step 7 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-A128 Monitor PM Counts for a Selected Signal
Step 1 In node view, double-click the card where you want to view PM counts. The card view appears.
Step 2 Click the Performance tab.
Note Different port and signal-type menus appear depending on the card type and the circuit type. The appropriate types (DS1, DS3, VT path, STS path) appear based on the card. For example, the DS3XM card lists DS3, DS1, VT path, and STS path PM parameters as signal-types. This enables you to select both the DS-3 port and the DS-1 within the specified DS-3.
Step 3 In the signal type drop-down menus, click the desired following options:
•DS: n or Port:n (card port number)
•VT: n (VT path number)
•STS: n (STS number within the VT path)
Figure 10-1 shows the Port and Signal-type menus on the Performance window for a DS3XM-6 card.
Figure 10-1 Signal-Type Menus for a DS3XM-6 Card
Step 4 Click Refresh. All PM counts recorded by the near-end or far-end node for the specified outgoing signal type on the selected card and port appear. For PM parameter definitions, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual.

Step 2 Click the Performance tab.
Step 3 Click Baseline.
Note The Baseline button clears the PM counts displayed in the current time interval but does not clear the PM counts on the card. When the current time interval expires or the window view changes, the total number of PM counts on the card and on the window appear in the appropriate column. The baseline values are discarded if you change views to a different window and then return to the Performance window.
Step 4 View the current statistics column(s) to observe changes to PM counts for the current time interval.
Step 5 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-A130 Clear Selected PM Counts
Pressing the Clear button can mask problems if used incorrectly. This button is commonly used for testing purposes.
Step 1 In node view, double-click the card where you want to view PM counts. The card view appears.
Step 2 Click the Performance tab.
Step 3 Click Clear.
Step 4 From the Clear Statistics menu, choose one of three options:
•Selected statistics: Clearing selected statistics erases from the card and the window display all PM counts associated with the current combination of statistics on the selected port. This means the selected time interval, direction, and signal type counts are erased from the card and the window display.
•All statistics on port x: Clearing all statistics on port x erases from the card and the window display all PM counts associated with all combinations of the statistics on the selected port. This means all time intervals, directions, and signal type counts are erased from the card and the window display.
•All statistics in current view: Clearing all statistics in the current view erases from the card and the window display all PM counts for all ports.
Step 5 From the Clear Statistics menu, click Yes to clear the selected statistics.
Step 6 Verify that the selected PM counts have been cleared.
Step 7 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

•15 Seconds: This option sets the window auto-refresh to 15-second time intervals.
•30 Seconds: This option sets the window auto-refresh to 30-second time intervals.
•1 Minute: This option sets the window auto-refresh to 1-minute time intervals.
•3 Minutes: This option sets the window auto-refresh to 3-minute time intervals.
•5 Minutes: This option sets the window auto-refresh to 5-minute time intervals.
Step 4 Click Refresh. The PM counts for the newly-selected auto-refresh time interval appear.
Depending on the selected auto-refresh interval, the displayed PM counts automatically update when each refresh interval completes. If the auto-refresh interval is set to None, the PM counts that appear are not updated unless you click Refresh.
Step 5 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

This procedure enables you to view transmit and receive performance during selected time intervals on a selected DWDM card and port to detect possible performance problems. This procedure applies to DWDM (Software R4.5) nodes only. |
Tools/Equipment |
None |
Prerequisite Procedures |
Before you monitor performance, be sure you have created the appropriate circuits and provisioned the card according to your specifications. For more information, see "Create Circuits and VT Tunnels" and "Change Card Settings." |
