Chapter 2 Alarm Troubleshooting

2.7.61 ERFI-P-PAYLD

Step 2 If the condition 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).

2.7.61 ERFI-P-PAYLD

Default Severity: Not Reported (NR), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SONET Logical Objects: STSMON, STSTRM

The Three-Bit ERFI Path Payload condition is triggered on DS-1, DS-3, or VT circuits when the “PLM-P” alarm on page 2-115alarm is raised on the transmission signal.

Clear the ERFI-P-PAYLD Condition

Step 1 Complete the “Clear the PLM-P Alarm” procedure on page 2-115. This should clear the ERFI condition.

Step 2 If the condition 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).

2.7.62 ERFI-P-SRVR

Default Severity: Not Reported (NR), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SONET Logical Objects: STSMON, STSTRM

The Three-Bit ERFI Path Server condition is triggered on DS-1, DS-3, or VT circuits when the “AIS-P” alarm on page 2-19or the “LOP-P” alarm on page 2-91is raised on the transmission signal.

Clear the ERFI-P-SRVR Condition

Step 1 Complete the “Clear the LOP-P Alarm” procedure on page 2-91. This should clear the ERFI condition.

Step 2 If the condition 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).

2.7.63 ERROR-CONFIG

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

SONET Logical Object: EQPT

The Error in Startup Configuration alarm applies to the ML-100T-8 Ethernet cards. These cards process startup configuration files line by line. If one or more lines cannot be executed, the error causes the ERROR-CONFIG alarm. ERROR-CONFIG is not caused by hardware failure.

The typical reasons for an errored startup file are:
