Procedure 5-4: Address VLNC40/42/42B circuit pack SNMP traps

- Overview

Use this procedure to address VLNC40/42/42B-related SNMP traps.

If the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-5 shelf is equipped with a VLNC40/42/42B Ethernet Aggregator circuit pack, service-affecting incoming signal failures and equipment failures are reported using circuit pack faceplate LED indicators and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps. The VLNC40/42/42B Ethernet Aggregator circuit pack also uses a single miscellaneous discrete output to report service-affecting failures.

To address VLNC40/42/42B circuit pack related failures, refer to Procedure 5-3: Address VLNC40/42/42B, VLNC60/61/62, or VLNC64 circuit pack related failures.

- Before you begin

Prior to performing this procedure:

  1. Refer to Before you begin and Required equipment in this chapter.

  2. Refer to Electrostatic discharge in Chapter 1, Safety.

Ethernet OAM (802.1ag) MIB

dot1agCfmFaultAlarm

The Maintenance Association End Point (MEP) has detected an xconCCMdefect, errorCCMdefect, someRMEPCCMdefect, or someMACstatusDefect.

xconCCMdefect

If the CCMs are received from an incorrect MAID:

1. Verify that the receiving local MEP is configured correctly (MD name, MA name, and MD level).

2. Check dot1agCfmMepXconCcmLastFailure to find the MAC address of the MEP which is the source of the problem, and its MAID.

3. Check network resources to find the remote MEP with that MAC address. Either it has been configured incorrectly (wrong MD name or MA name, which comprises the MAID; or wrong MD level) or the network connectivity is misconfigured to create an incorrect path to the local MEP.

4. If there is a concurrent someRMEPCCMdefect then also check for two remote MEP's with "swapped" configurations resulting in the intended one connected elsewhere, and the wrong one routed here.

If the CCMs are received from a lower level:

1. Verify that the local and remote MEPs have the same, correct, MD level configured.

2. Verify that there is no missing local MEP at a lower level, which should be receiving the CCMs.

dot1agCfmFaultAlarm (continued)

errorCCMdefect

If the received CCMs have an incorrect MEPID:

1. Verify correct local configuration of remote MEPs using the show ethoam remote-mepid command.

2. Check dot1agCfmMepErrorCcmLastFailure to find the MAC address of the MEP which is the source of the problem, and its MEPID.

3. Check network resources to find the remote MEP with that MAC address, and correct its MEPID. If the MEPID is the same as the local MEP, then check the network for loops including misconfigured spanning trees or physical loopbacks.

If the received CCMs have the wrong period, then correct the configuration of each MEP so that the sending period is the same. Peer MEPs are expected to send CCMs with the same period.

dot1agCfmFaultAlarm (continued)

someRMEPCCMdefect

There is a loss of continuity with a remote MEP in the MA.

1. Check provisioning to ensure that all intended remote MEPs are configured locally, using the show ethoam remote-mepid command.

2. Check that each remote MEP is configured to enable CCM, using the show ethoam mep command, at the remote MEP's NE.

3. When the configuration is confirmed, look for faults in the network that would prevent traffic continuity. This can include further provisioning errors in network connectivity including VLAN configuration. There may be unprotected link faults or other hardware failures in the network.

someMACstatusDefect

A remote MEP is reporting its port is not up or that all remote MEPs have blocked ports.

Check the remote MEPs in the MA to find the problem (that is, why a port is not up or all have spanning tree blocks).

802.3 Link OAM MIB

LinkOAM Report cTCAEVT alarm

If the thresholds are non-zero, the link is degraded, causing symbol or frame errors locally or remotely.

Check the linkoam event log to determine which events are occurring, and where. Note that only non-zero threshold events are logged. Repair according to local procedures

LinkOAM Report cCLE alarm

There is a local or remote Link Failure, Dying Gasp, or Critical Event.

Check the linkoam event log to determine the type of event and where it is occurring. Refer to linkdown resolutions.

LinkOAM Report cSI alarm

The remote did not respond to a loopback request within 5 seconds.

No action required. Retry loopback. If it continues to be refused, check the remote node state.

LinkOAM Report cODNC alarm

Links are good, and link OAM is enabled, but the discovery state is not SEND_ANY for over 3 seconds.

May be caused by local and remote nodes both set to passive mode (at least one must be active), or by incompatible configuration. Check provisioning at local and remote node.

LinkOAM Report cExSER alarm

LinkOAM is enabled and the number of symbol errors in the last second exceeds or equals the configured threshold.

Check the linkoam event log to determine the type of event and where it is occurring. Refer to linkdown resolutions.

TSD-IM SNMP NE MIB

opticsimAlarmHldOverRaise

The system timing source is in holdover mode. This occurs when the system can not recover a clock signal from a reference source.

The reference source might have a signal failure or be of degraded quality. Fix reference source or select a working reference source. If there is a signal fail condition on the timing source perform appropriate corrective action. If SSM is supported on the timing source, check the SSM received on it. If it is not received or the received SSM is at/below quality level of DUS, perform any corrective action necessary in the adjacent nodes.
