Chapter 2 Alarm Troubleshooting

2.7.85 FE-LOF

2.7.85 FE-LOF

Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SONET Logical Object: DS3

The Far End LOF condition occurs when a far-end node reports the “LOF (DS3)” alarm on page 2-87in C-bit line type mode.

Clear the FE-LOF Condition

Step 1 To troubleshoot an FE condition, determine which node and port link directly to the card reporting the FE condition.

Step 2 Log into the node that links directly to the port reporting the FE condition.

Step 3 Complete the “Clear the LOF (DS1) Alarm” procedure on page 2-86. It also applies to FE-LOF.

Step 4 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).

2.7.86 FE-LOS

Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

SONET Logical Object: DS3

The Far End LOS condition occurs in C-bit line type mode when a far-end node reports the “LOS (DS3)” alarm on page 2-95.

Clear the FE-LOS Condition

Step 1 To troubleshoot the FE condition, determine which node and port link directly to the card or port reporting the FE condition.

Step 2 Log into the node that links directly to the port reporting the FE condition.

Step 3 Complete the “Clear the LOS (DS1) Alarm” procedure on page 2-94.

Step 4 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).

2.7.87 FE-MANWKSWBK-SPAN

The FE-MANWKSWBK-SPAN condition is not used in the ONS 15310 platforms in this release. It is reserved for development.
