Appendix A Supported Service Alarms

Rx Dormant

Rx Dormant

An Rx Dormant alarm is issued when the traffic received over a physical port (measured as a percentage of the port’s capacity) drops below a predefined threshold. The alarm description includes the current traffic percentage compared with the defined threshold. This alarm provides service providers with a method for identifying customer services that have slowed down significantly or stopped altogether. An Rx Dormant Normal alarm is issued after the traffic percentage exceeds a predefined upper threshold. By default, the Rx Dormant alarm is disabled. This alarm is enabled and its thresholds are configured using the Cisco ANA Registry Editor.

Note Changes to the registry should be carried out only with the support of Cisco Professional Services.

Tx Dormant

A Tx Dormant alarm is issued when the traffic transmitted over a physical port (measured as a percentage of the port’s capacity) drops below a predefined threshold. The alarm description includes the current traffic percentage compared with the defined threshold. This alarm provides service providers with a method for identifying customer services that have slowed down significantly or stopped altogether. A Tx Dormant Normal alarm is issued after the traffic percentage exceeds a predefined upper threshold. By default, the Tx Dormant alarm is disabled. This alarm is enabled and its thresholds are configured using the Cisco ANA Registry Editor.

Link Over Utilized

A link over utilized alarm is issued when the traffic transmitted over a port that is connected to another port via a network link (measured as a percentage of the port’s capacity) exceeds a predefined threshold. The port over utilization alarm is correlated into a link over utilized alarm. If the ports at both ends of a link are overutilized, the two port over utilization alarms are correlated into a single link over utilization alarm. The alarm description includes the direction of the overutilization. A link utilization normal alarm is issued when the utilization level falls below a predefined threshold. The overutilization thresholds are configured using the Cisco ANA Registry Editor.

3.6 specifications

Cisco Systems 3.6 marks a significant advancement in network technology, presenting an innovative suite of features and capabilities designed to enhance performance, security, and flexibility for modern networks. As a leader in networking solutions, Cisco continues to evolve its offerings, ensuring they meet the demands of businesses operating in increasingly complex environments.

One of the standout features of Cisco Systems 3.6 is the introduction of enhanced automation capabilities. Automation reduces the manual effort required for network management, allowing IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives rather than routine maintenance. The system leverages advanced machine learning algorithms to analyze network behavior, detect anomalies, and suggest optimizations, which enhances operational efficiency and uptime.

In terms of security, Cisco Systems 3.6 integrates robust cybersecurity measures directly into its architecture. It incorporates Cisco's SecureX framework, which provides centralized visibility and control across the entire security stack. This feature allows organizations to respond rapidly to threats, leveraging threat intelligence and automated response mechanisms to mitigate risks effectively.

Another notable characteristic is improved compatibility with cloud environments. With the rise of hybrid cloud models, Cisco Systems 3.6 offers seamless integration capabilities that enable businesses to connect their on-premises networks with public and private cloud infrastructures. This ensures greater flexibility and enhanced performance for cloud-based applications.

Cisco also emphasizes software-defined networking (SDN) with its updated platform. This approach allows for greater agility, enabling network administrators to programmatically manage resources through a centralized interface. SDN facilitates rapid deployment of services and applications, optimizing the overall user experience.

Cisco Systems 3.6 also boasts enhanced collaboration tools, fostering improved communication across teams. Featuring advanced video conferencing and messaging capabilities, it enhances productivity and streamlines processes, regardless of employee location. These tools are designed to support remote work environments, which have become increasingly important in today's business landscape.

Furthermore, energy efficiency is a core aspect of Cisco Systems 3.6. The system is designed to optimize power consumption and reduce overall operating costs, aligning with global sustainability goals. The efficient design prioritizes environmentally friendly practices while still delivering high performance.

In conclusion, Cisco Systems 3.6 represents a comprehensive evolution in networking technology, focusing on automation, security, cloud integration, SDN, collaboration, and energy efficiency. These features position Cisco as a pivotal player in supporting organizations as they navigate the complexities of digital transformation and the future of networking.
