Chapter 2 Alarm Troubleshooting

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).
