Chapter 2 Alarm Troubleshooting

2.7.97 FSTSYNC

2.7.97 FSTSYNC

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

SONET Logical Object: NE-SREF

AFast Start Synchronization Mode condition occurs when the ONS 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA is choosing a new timing reference. The previous timing reference has failed.

The FSTSYNC condition disappears after approximately 30 seconds. 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).

Note FSTSYNC is an informational condition. It does not require troubleshooting.

2.7.98 FULLPASSTHR-BI

The FULLPASSTHR-BI condition is not used in the ONS 15310 platforms in this release. It is reserved for development.

2.7.99 GFP-CSF

Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA)

SONET Logical Object: CE100T

The GFP Client Signal Fail Detected alarm is a secondary alarm raised on local GFP data ports when a remote Service-Affecting (SA) alarm causes invalid data transmission. The alarm is raised locally on ML-100T-8 Ethernet ports and does not indicate that a Service-Affecting (SA) failure is occurring at the local site, but that a CARLOSS, LOS, or SYNCLOSS alarm is affecting a remote data port’s transmission capability. For more information about Ethernet cards, refer to the Cisco ONS 15310-CL and Cisco ONS 15310-MA Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide.

Clear the GFP-CSF Alarm

Step 1 Clear the Service-Affecting (SA) alarm at the remote data port.

Step 2 If the GFP-CSF 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) to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.

2.7.100 GFP-EX-MISMATCH

Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA)

Logical Object: CE100T

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.
