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. In this chapter, PM parameters and
concepts are defined for electrical cards, ethernet cards, optical cards, optical multirate cards, and
storage access networking (SAN) cards in the Cisco ONS 15454.
For information about enabling and viewing PM values, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide.

Note For transponder (TXP), and muxponder (TXP), and DWDM card PM parameters, refer to the
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual.
Note For additional information regarding PM parameters, refer to Telcordia documents GR-1230-CORE,
GR-820-CORE, GR-499-CORE, and GR-253-CORE and the ANSI T1.231 document entitled Digital
Hierarchy - Layer 1 In-Service Digital Transmission Performance Monitoring.
Note When circuits transition from the out-of-service state to the in-service state, the performance monitoring
counts during the out-of-service circuit state are not part of the accumulation cycle.
