Chapter5 Configuring Transponder L ine Card Interfaces
Configuring Optical Power Thresholds
To configure optical power thresholds for wavepatch interfaces on a transponder line card, perform the
following steps, beginning in global configuration mode:
Examples
The following example shows how to configure optical power thresholds for wavepatch interfaces on a
transponder line card:
Switch(config)# interface wavepatch 5/0/0
Switch(config-if)# laser control forward enable
Displaying Optical Power Threshold Configuration
To display the optical power thresholds for a wavepatch interface, use the following EXEC command:
Command Purpose
Step1 Switch(config)# interface wavepatch
slot/subcard/port
Switch(config-if)#
Selects the transparent interface to configure and
enters interface configuration mode.
Step2 Switch(config-if)# optical threshold power
receive {low | high} {alarm | warning} value
[severity {critical | major | minor | not
alarmed | not reported}]
Specifies the optical power threshold value in units of
0.1 dBm. The default values on the active wavepatch
are as follows:
Low alarm: 28 dBm
Low warning: 24 dBm
High warning: 10 dBm
High alarm: 8 dBm
Alarm severity: major
Warning severity: not alarmed
The default values on the standby wavepatch are as
follows:
Low alarm: 28 dBm
Low warning: 24 dBm
High warning: 15 dBm
High alarm: 13 dBm
Alarm severity: major
Warning severity: not alarmed
Command Purpose
