2.7.249 VT-SQUELCH-L
Default Severity: NotAlarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
The Ring is Squelching VT Traffic condition is raised on an OC-N facility. If the node failure scenario
includes the source node, the node dropping VT will squelch VT traffic. The condition resolves when
the node failure is recovered.
This condition is raised as NA severity by default. However, it indicates that traffic is squelched due to
node failure, that is, traffic outage. Traffic outage can be caused by different problems, such as multiple
LOS alarms, AIS-L, or node power outage. VT-SQUELCH-L is symptomatic and indicates that the user
must investigate which node in a ring is being isolated and what causes node isolation.
Note VT-SQUELCH-L is an informational condition.
