List of terms

stability timer

This timer allows the detection of repetitive main FP card failures and is used to cause a switchover if a main function processor in a one-for-n sparing configuration fails within one hour after it starts running as the active FP. See also sparing timer (page 125)

standard virtual path terminator

A type of virtual path terminator that allows simultaneous traffic management at both the VP and VC level. Standard virtual path terminators also allow VPs and VCs on the same interface to dynamically share bandwidth.

standby

Applies to equipment and instances of software that protect the ability to provide services through redundancy. Standby equipment and software can run in a variety of modes. See cold standby (page 30), hot standby (page 62), and warm standby (page 148).

state

An operational value indicating the high-level condition of a component. Its range of values is usually small. For example, the usage state can be idle, active, or busy, while the amount-used status could vary from 0 percent to 100 percent. State changes can generate alarms or service change notifications. Status changes can generate alarms when certain thresholds are passed.

state change notification (SCN)

In OSI, a notification of a change of OSI state and status values. In Nortel Multiservice Switch systems, the notification is generated only by a change in operational state changes in a preselected set of components. Nortel Multiservice Data Manager uses SCNs to update the state of components that are being displayed.

state walk

An activity performed by the Multiservice Data Manager surveillance infrastructure to obtain or synchronize fault information from a device (for example, a Nortel Multiservice Switch node).

static_local

A network directly connected to the router in question.

static_remote

A host or route statically defined to the router in question but not directly connected to the router.
