Chapter 2 Alarm Troubleshooting

2.7.63 ERROR-CONFIG

The user stored the configuration for one type of ML-100T-8 Ethernet card in the database and then installed another type in its slot.

The configuration file contained a syntax error.

Note For information about provisioning the ML-100T-8 Ethernet cards from the Cisco IOS interface, refer to the Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide.

Clear the ERROR-CONFIG Alarm

Step 1 If the ML-100T-8 Ethernet configuration is different from the actual installation, create the correct startup configuration based upon the installation.

Consult the ML-100T-8 POS provisioning parameters for the card and POS ports in the

Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide.

Step 2 Upload the configuration file to the controller card (15310-CL-CTX or CTX2500 card) by completing the following steps:

a.In node view, right-click the ML-100T-8 Ethernet card graphic.

b.Choose IOS Startup Config from the shortcut menu.

c.Click Local > TCC and navigate to the file location in the Open dialog box.

Step 3 Complete the “Soft- or Hard-Reset an Ethernet or Electrical Card in CTC” procedure on page 2-153.

Caution Avoid soft-resetting multiple ONS 15310-MA cards at one time; doing so might cause an unexpected traffic hit.

Step 4 If the alarm does not clear or if your configuration file was correct according to the installed card, start a Cisco IOS CLI for the card by completing the following steps:

a.Right-click the ML-100T-8 Ethernet card graphic in node view.

b.Choose Open IOS Connection from the shortcut menu.

Note “Open IOS Connection” is not available unless the ML-100T-8 Ethernet card is physically installed in the shelf.

Follow the card provisioning instructions in the Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide to correct the errored configuration file line.

Step 5 Execute the following CLI command:

copy run start

The command copies the new card configuration into the database and clears the alarm.

Step 6 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).
