FIPS-TEST-FAILED
Default Severity: Critical (CR)
Logical Object: EQPT
The FIPS Test Failed alarm is raised on the WSE card. This alarm is raised when the FIPS test fails on the
WSE card.
A secure library is used for the FIPS test. A self-test is run on the card during startup to check that the library
works with all the algorithms that are supported by FIPS. The FIPS TEST Failed alarm is raised when there
is an issue during the self-test on the card.

FORCED-REQ
Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
Logical Object: EQPT, ML1000, ML100T, MLFX, STSMON, VT-MON
The Force Switch Request on Facility or Port condition occurs when you enter the Force command on a port
to force traffic from a working port to a protect port or protection span (or from a protect port to a working
port or span). You do not need to clear the condition if you want the Force switch to remain.
FORCED-REQ is raised for an IEEE 802.17b-based RPR span if the force was requested in the Cisco IOS
CLI using the rpr-ieee protection request force-switch {east | west} command. It clears from the RPR-IEEE
span when you remove the switch in the CLI. For the IEEE 802.17b-based RPR interface, FORCED-REQ is
suppressed by the RPR-PASSTHR alarm. It also suppresses the following alarms:
