State reports

Overview

The state report shows the protection state of all circuit packs installed in the system and the state of the individual low/high-speed channels.

Circuit pack states

The circuit pack state is reported as "active" or "standby."

Path states

The state of the individual VT1.5/VC-12 /STS-n channels and paths may be one of the following:

• not monitored (NMON)

• in service (IS)

• auto (AUTO).

The system reports this information on all interfaces. For VT1.5/VC-12/STS-n channels and paths, the AUTO state would transition to the IS state if a good signal is detected.

Line and port states

The state of individual lines may be IS, NMON, or AUTO for all OC-n ports.
