Chapter 2 Alarm Troubleshooting

Alarm Procedures

2.6.12AS-CMD

•Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service Affecting (NSA)

The Alarms Suppressed by User Command (AS-CMD) condition applies to the network element (NE, or node) and cards. It occurs when alarms are suppressed for one or more cards or for the entire shelf.

Procedure: Clear the AS-CMD Condition

Step 1 In node view, click the Conditions tab.

Step 2 Click Retrieve. If you have already retrieved conditions, look under the Object column and Eqpt Type column, and note what entity the condition is reported against, such as a port, slot, or shelf.

If the condition is reported against a slot and card, alarms were either suppressed for the entire card or for one of the ports. Note the slot number and continue with Step 3.

If the Condition window says that the object is “system,” the condition applies to the shelf. Go to Step 7.

Step 3 If the AS-CMD condition is reported for a card, determine if alarms are suppressed for a port and if so, raise the suppressed alarms:

a.Double-click the card to display the card view.

b.Click the Provisioning > Alarm Behavior tabs.

•If the Suppress Alarms column check box is checked for a port row, deselect the check box and click Apply.

•If the Suppress Alarms column check box is not checked for a port row, click View > Go to Previous View.

Step 4 In node view, if the AS-CMD condition is reported for a card and not an individual port, click the Provisioning > Alarm Behavior tabs.

Step 5 Locate the row for the reported card slot. (The slot number information was in the Object column in the Conditions window that you noted in Step 2.)

Step 6 Click the Suppress Alarms column check box to deselect the option for the card row.

Step 7 If the condition is reported for the shelf, cards and other equipment are affected. To clear the alarm:

a.In node view, click the Provisioning > Alarm Behavior tabs.

b.Click the Suppress Alarms check box located at the bottom of the window to deselect the option.

c.Click Apply.

Step 8 If the condition does not clear, log onto http://www.cisco.com/tac for more information or call TAC (1-800-553-2447).

2.6.13 AS-MT

•Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service Affecting (NSA)

The Alarms Suppressed for Maintenance Command (AS-MT) condition applies to optical and electrical (traffic) cards and occurs when a port is placed in the out-of-service maintenance (OOS-MT) state for loopback testing operations.
