Chapter 2 Alarm Troubleshooting

2.7.88 FE-MANWKSWPR-SPAN

2.7.88 FE-MANWKSWPR-SPAN

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

2.7.89 FEPRLF

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

SONET Logical Object: OCN

The Far End Protection Line Failure alarm occurs when an APS channel “SF-L” condition on page 2-126occurs on the protect port coming into the node.

Note The FEPRLF alarm occurs when bidirectional protection is used on optical ports in a 1+1 protection group configuration.

Clear the FEPRLF Alarm

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

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

Step 3 Clear the main alarm. Refer to the appropriate alarm section in this chapter for instructions.

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).

2.7.90 FORCED-REQ

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

SONET Logical Objects: STSMON, VT-MON

The Force Switch Request on Facility or Port condition occurs when you enter the Force command on a port to force traffic from a working port to a protect port or protection span (or from a protect port to a working port or span). You do not need to clear the condition if you want the Force switch to remain.

Clear the FORCED-REQ Condition

Step 1 Complete the “Clear a 1+1 Force or Manual Switch Command” procedure on page 2-149.

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).

ONS 15310-CL, ONS 15310-MA specifications

Cisco Systems has long been a leader in networking and telecommunications technology, and among its impressive lineup of products, the Cisco ONS 15310 series stands out as an essential solution for optical networking. This series includes models such as the ONS 15310-MA, ONS 15310-CL, and ONS 15310-CA, each designed to meet the diverse needs of service providers and enterprises seeking to enhance their optical transport networks.

The Cisco ONS 15310-MA is an advanced multi-service platform designed for metropolitan area networks. It facilitates the seamless transport of data, voice, and video over optical networks. One of its main features is its ability to support a variety of interfaces, including Ethernet, SONET/SDH, and Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM), allowing users to integrate multiple services into a single platform. Additionally, the ONS 15310-MA supports advanced traffic management and Quality of Service (QoS) features to prioritize critical applications and ensure consistent performance.

The ONS 15310-CL variant is tailored for more specific applications, providing enhanced capabilities aimed at delivering carrier-grade services. It features a robust architecture that accommodates high-capacity traffic without compromising reliability. This model emphasizes low power consumption and a compact design, making it suitable for deployment in space-constrained environments. The ONS 15310-CL also supports a wide range of optical interfaces, making it highly flexible for various network configurations.

In terms of technologies, the Cisco ONS 15310 series leverages Optical Transport Network (OTN) capabilities, providing high efficiency and greater bandwidth utilization. OTN technology enables efficient error correction and adds resilience to the network through its built-in protection mechanisms. Furthermore, the series supports seamless integration with existing IP/MPLS networks, creating a cohesive infrastructure as organizations evolve their networking requirements.

One of the defining characteristics of the ONS 15310 series is its focus on scalability. Network operators can start with a modest deployment and gradually expand capacity as demand grows. This adaptability is complemented by Cisco's comprehensive management and monitoring tools, providing operators with real-time insights into network performance and facilitating proactive management.

In conclusion, the Cisco ONS 15310-MA and ONS 15310-CL models represent sophisticated solutions for modern optical networks. With their versatile features, advanced technologies, and robust design, they empower service providers and enterprises to build resilient, high-capacity networks that meet the demands of today’s data-driven world.
