Chapter 2 Alarm Troubleshooting

2.7.227 SWMTXMOD-WORK

2.7.227 SWMTXMOD-WORK

Default Severity: Critical (CR), Service-Affecting (SA)

SONET Logical Object: EQPT

The Switching Matrix Module Failure on Working Slot alarm is raised by the 15310-CL-CTX or CTX2500 card when a logic component internal to the card’s cross connect is OOF with a traffic card in the system. In this case, the alarm is raised against the traffic card slot.

Clear the SWMTXMOD-WORK Alarm

Step 1 Complete the “Soft- or Hard-Reset an Ethernet or Electrical Card in CTC” procedure on page 2-153for the controller card. For the LED behavior, see the “2.9.2 Typical Card LED Activity During Reset” section on page 2-147.

Step 2 Verify that the reset is complete and error-free and that no new related alarms appear in CTC. A green

ACT/SBY LED indicates an active card. An amber ACT/SBY LED indicates a standby card.

Step 3 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) in order to report a Service-Affecting (SA) problem.

2.7.228 SWTOPRI

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

SONET Logical Objects: EXT-SREF, NE-SREF

The Synchronization Switch to Primary Reference condition occurs when the ONS 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA switches to the primary timing source (reference 1). The system uses three ranked timing references. The timing references are typically two BITS-level or line-level sources and an internal reference.

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

2.7.229 SWTOSEC

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

SONET Logical Objects: EXT-SREF, NE-SREF

The Synchronization Switch to Secondary Reference condition occurs when the ONS 15310-CL or ONS 15310-MA has switched to a secondary timing source (reference 2).

Clear the SWTOSEC Condition

Step 1 To clear the condition, clear alarms related to failures of the primary source, such as the “SYNCPRI” alarm on page 2-135.

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.
