Alarms Column Descriptions

 

 

Column

Information Recorded

 

 

New

Indicates a new alarm. To change this status, click either the Synchronize button or the

 

Delete Cleared Alarms button.

 

 

Date

Date and time of the alarm.

 

 

Node

Shows the name of the node where the condition or alarm occurred. (Visible in network

 

view.)

 

 

Object

TL1 AID for the alarmed object. For an VCMON-LP or VTmon, this is the monitored

 

VC high-order path or VC low-order path object, which is explained in Table 10-3 on

 

page 10-3.

 

 

Eqpt Type

Card type in this slot (appears only in network and node view).

 

 

Shelf

For DWDM configurations, the shelf where the alarmed object is located. Visible in

 

network view.

 

 

Slot

Slot where the alarm occurred (appears only in network and node view).

 

 

Port

Port where the alarm is raised. For VCTRM-LP and VTTerm, the port refers to the

 

upstream card it is partnered with.

 

 

Path Width

Indicates how many VCs are contained in the alarmed path. This information

 

compliments the alarm object notation, which is explained in Table 10-3 on page 10-3.

 

 

Sev

Severity level: CR (Critical), MJ (Major), MN (Minor), NA (Not-Alarmed), NR

 

(Not-Reported).

 

 

ST

Status: R (raised), C (clear).

 

 

SA

When checked, indicates a service-affecting alarm.

 

 

Cond

The error message/alarm name. These names are alphabetically defined in the “Alarm

 

Troubleshooting” chapter of the Cisco ONS 15310-MA SDH Troubleshooting Guide.

 

 

Description

Description of the alarm.

 

 

Num

Num (number) is the quantity of alarm messages received and is increments

 

automatically as alarms occur to display the current total of received error messages.

 

(The column is hidden by default; to view it, right-click a column and choose Show

15310-MA specifications

Cisco Systems has established itself as a leader in the networking domain, offering a wide array of solutions to meet the needs of modern businesses. Among its impressive product lineup are the Cisco 15310-CL and 15310-MA routers, designed to provide advanced network performance and reliability.

The Cisco 15310-CL is a versatile platform that primarily serves as a carrier-class router aimed at supporting high-speed data and voice services. It is built to handle the demands of large enterprises and service providers, offering a robust design that ensures maximum uptime and performance. One of its standout features is its modular architecture, which enables users to customize their configurations based on specific application needs. This scalability allows for future expansion without the need for a complete hardware overhaul.

Key technologies integrated into the Cisco 15310-CL include high-density Ethernet interfaces and a comprehensive suite of Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocol support. The device is capable of supporting multiple types of connections, including TDM, ATM, and Ethernet. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for organizations that require seamless migration between various service types. Moreover, with features such as MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) support and advanced Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, the router ensures that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and low latency required for optimal performance.

In contrast, the Cisco 15310-MA focuses on access solutions, providing a cost-effective entry point for businesses looking to enhance their network capabilities. It is well-suited for smaller offices or branch locations that need reliable connectivity without the expense and complexity associated with larger systems. The device supports a range of access methods and provides essential features like firewall capabilities, VPN support, and comprehensive security measures to protect sensitive data.

Both models benefit from Cisco's commitment to security and manageability, offering features like enhanced encryption protocols and user authentication mechanisms that help safeguard networks against threats. Additionally, they can be managed through Cisco’s intuitive software tools, simplifying configuration and monitoring tasks for IT administrators.

The Cisco 15310-CL and 15310-MA are ideal solutions for businesses seeking to enhance their network infrastructure, ensuring firms can keep pace with evolving technology demands while maintaining a focus on security and performance. Their combination of advanced features, modular capabilities, and robust support makes them valuable assets in the networking landscape.
