Important!

For FE and GE ports on the LNW63, LNW64, LNW74, LNW87, and LNW70/LNW170 packs, the AUTO link shutdown alarm is also reported when the local network element detects a remote GFP RDI message from the far-end network element and both the local port Remote Client Fail Reverse Defect Indication and the local port Remote Client Fail Link Shutdown parameters are enabled.

Remote GFP RDI messages are received when the far-end network element has a VCG failure while the Remote Client Fail Reverse Defect Indication and the Remote Client Fail parameters are enabled.

Locate and clear all Remote client signal failed and inc. VCG failed alarms in the alarm list.
