Chapter 2 Alarm Troubleshooting

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
