Alarm Monitoring and Management

This chapter explains how to manage alarms with Cisco Transport Controller (CTC), which includes:

•

Viewing alarms 

•

Viewing history

•

Viewing conditions

•

Creating and managing alarm profiles 

•

Suppressing alarms 

To troubleshoot specific alarms, see 

Chapter 14, “Alarm Troubleshooting”

.

10.1  Overview

The CTC detects and reports SONET alarms generated by the Cisco ONS 15327 and larger SONET 
network. You can use CTC to monitor and manage alarms at the card, node, or network level. Default 
alarm severities conform to the Telcordia GR-253-CORE standard, but you can reset severities to 
customized alarm profiles or suppress CTC alarm reporting. For a detailed description of the standard 
Telcordia categories employed by ONS nodes, see 

Chapter 14, “Alarm Troubleshooting”

.

Note

ONS 15327 alarms can also be monitored and managed through TL1 or a network management system 
(NMS).

10.2  Viewing ONS 15327 Alarms

At the card, node, or network-level CTC view, click the 

Alarms

 tab to display the alarms for that 

card, node or network. 

Table 10-1

 lists the tab column headings and the information recorded in each 

column as shown from the CTC node view.
