Note For more information about the ML-100T-8 Ethernet card, refer to the Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide.

Clear the ENCAP-MISMATCH-P Alarm

Step 1 Ensure that the correct line type is in use on the receive card by completing the following steps:

a.In node view, double-click the receive ML-100T-8 card to display the card view.

b.Click the Provisioning > Card tabs.

c.In the Mode drop-down list, ensure that the same mode (GFP or HDLC) is selected. If it is not, choose it and click Apply.

Step 2 Ensure that the correct line type is in use on the transmit card and that it is identical to the receiving card by completing the following steps:

a.In node view, double-click the transmit ML-100T-8 card to display the card view.

b.Click the Provisioning > Card tabs.

c.In the Mode drop-down list, ensure that the same mode (GFP or HDLC) is selected. If it is not, choose it and click Apply.

Step 3 If the alarm does not clear, use the CLI to ensure that the remaining settings are correctly configured on the ML-100T-8 card:

Encapsulation

CRC size

Scrambling state

To open the interface, click the IOS tab and click Open IOS Command Line Interface (CLI). Refer to the Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration

Guide entries on all three of these topics to obtain the full configuration command sequences.

Step 4 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport for more information or call Cisco TAC (1-800-553-2447) in order to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.

2.7.56 EOC

Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SONET Logical Object: OCN

The SONET DCC Termination Failure alarm occurs when the ONS 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA loses its DCC. The section data communication channel (SDCC) overhead consists of three bytes, D1 through D3, in the SONET overhead. The bytes convey information about Operation, Administration, Maintenance, and Provisioning (OAM&P). The node uses the DCC on the SONET section layer to communicate network management information.
