OC-3c Port Events

OC-3c Port Events

This chapter explains how to diagnose and handle OC-3c port events generated by the Cisco 6100 Series system. The following information is presented for each of the events:

If none of the actions presented for the event are successful, contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for additional support.


Note Refer to "Cisco 6100 Series System Event Troubleshooting" for detailed information on viewing events in the ViewRunner management software. Refer to "Event Guidelines and Definitions" for detailed information on event severity guidelines and alarm event status changes.

Table 11-1 lists OC-3c port events and their IDs, definition, severity, and description. A detailed explanation of these events and corrective actions required (if any) is located in subsections in this chapter.

Event Summary

ID Event Name Severity

48

FC_OC3_LCD_FAULT

Info

Description

The following description appears in the ViewRunner for Windows Event History View dialog box or the ViewRunner for HP OpenView Error Events Browser:

SONET: Loss of Cell Delineation

Impact

An event of this severity causes loss of service for more than four subscribers. Here are two examples of this type of event:

Action

Alarm events of this type are typically caused by short-term (milliseconds in duration) incidents that clear as part of the normal course of traffic management. Examples of traffic management events include the freeing of buffer space, recovery from parity errors at a higher level, and recover after a brief loss of signal.

Each of these alarm events is followed by an additional event showing a Cleared event status, meaning the alarm event has been corrected.

Step 1 If a Cleared event status is not received within 1 minute, reinsert the module.

Step 2 If a problem persists, replace the module.
