Chapter 2 Alarm Troubleshooting

2.7.250 WKSWPR

2.7.250 WKSWPR

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

SONET Logical Objects: EQPT, OCN, STSMON, VT-MON

The Working Switched To Protection condition occurs when a line experiences the “LOS (OCN)” alarm on page 2-98.

This condition is also raised when you use the FORCE SPAN or MANUAL SPAN command at the network level. WKSWPR is visible on the network view Alarms, Conditions, and History tabs.

Clear the WKSWPR Condition

Step 1 Complete the “Clear the LOS (OCN) Alarm” procedure on page 2-99.

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).

2.7.251 WTR

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

SONET Logical Objects: EQPT, OCN, STSMON, VT-MON

The Wait To Restore condition occurs when the “WKSWPR” condition on page 2-146is raised and the wait-to-restore time has not expired, meaning that the active protect path cannot revert to the working path. The condition clears when the timer expires and traffic switches back to the working path.

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

2.8 DS-1 Line Alarms

The 15310-CL-CTX, DS1-28/DS3-EC1-3, and DS1-84/DS3-EC1-3 card DS1 ports provide three line types: ESF, D4, or Unframed. The choice of framing format determines the line alarms that the card reports. Table 2-13lists the line alarms reported under each format. The choice of framing format does not affect the reporting of STS alarms.

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.
