How do I suppress all alarms raised on a port, NE, or resource group?

Purpose

You can use the NSP to squelch all new alarms raised against an NE or a port, or all NEs and ports in a resource group, including service endpoints associated with the port. Squelched alarms are dropped when received, and do not appear as historical events. Squelched alarms received from an NFM-P do not appear in the current alarm list, but continue to appear in the historical and merged alarm lists. Alarms that are squelched in the NSP are not squelched at their originating data source (for example NFM-P or WS-NOC) and continue to appear in their respective clients

Note: You can individually squelch up to 1000 NEs and 1000 ports. You can use resource groups to squelch up to 250,000 objects (both ports and NEs combined).

Alarm squelching behavior

NSP discards alarms on squelched objects based on the Affected Object and Site ID parameters of the alarm. Squelching an NE discards alarms with a Site ID that matches the squelched NE. Squelching a port discards alarms with an Affected Object parameter that matches the squelched port. Squelching a port also discards alarms for service endpoints associated with the port.

Resource groups

The Resource Group panel on the Alarm Squelch page displays existing network supervision, network element, and equipment resource groups. For more information about using group directories and resource groups, see the NSP System Administrator Guide.
