Managing Control Plane Alarms and Performance Events
Users can suppress the control plane alarms, monitor the control plane performance, set the auto-report status of the control plane performance, and set the control plane performance threshold based on actual requirements.
Follow-up Procedure
Applies to OptiX OSN 3800, OptiX OSN 6800, .
Suppressing Control Plane Alarms
The control plane alarms consist of NE alarm, ASON WDM trail alarm, TE link alarm, control link alarm, and control channel alarm. Users can suppress the specific control plane alarms as required.
Querying the Performance of the Control Plane
Users can view the current and history performance data and the record of performance threshold crossing events of the control plane. In this manner, users can monitor the performance of the ASON trail.
Monitoring the Control Plane Performance
The control plane performance monitoring involves NE performance monitoring, WDM ASON trail performance monitoring and control channel performance monitoring. The control plane performance monitor status defaults to be disabled. Users can enable the monitoring function if required so that they can discover and handle problems at the earliest time.
Setting the Auto-Report Status of the Control Plane Performance Data
The control plane performance is monitored on a 24-hour basis. The performance is not reported automatically by default. Users can enable the auto-report function if required. The control plane performance monitoring involves NE performance monitoring, WDM ASON trail performance monitoring, and control channel performance monitoring.
Setting the Control Plane Performance Threshold
When an NE detects that a certain performance value exceeds the specified threshold, the NE reports a performance threshold crossing event. Set the performance threshold for every WDM ASON trail properly based on the requirements. In this way, the performance of every WDM ASON trail trail can be monitored.
