Steps
Complete the following steps to clear an Excessive Reserved Rate on RPR condition.
1 |
From the WaveStar® CIT System View, click the Alarm List button and locate the Excessive Reserved Rate on RPR condition in the resulting alarm list and note the corresponding VCG AID. | ||||||

3 |
Observe the Total Reserved Rate for the ringlets and the provisioned Reserved Class A0 Bandwidth for the local VCG RPR spans. | ||||||
4 |
Important! The sum of all the provisioned VCG RPR span Reserved Class A Add Rates (Mb/s) around the ring has exceeded the link rate of the ring. (The link rate is approximately 48.384 Mb/s per STS-1 cross-connection to the VCG.) Follow local procedures to either increase the link rate of the ring or decrease the provisioned VCG RPR span Reserved Class A Add Rate at one or more nodes in the ring.
| ||||||
5 |
From the System View, select Configuration → Cross-Connections to access the Cross-Connection Wizard and provision the additional cross-connection(s) to the required VCGs according to local procedures. | ||||||
