Chapter 7 Card Provisioning; Performance Monitoring Thresholds - Cisco ONS 15327 User Documentation

Card Provisioning
This chapter provides Cisco ONS 15327 procedures for:
•
•
•
Ethernet card provisioning is described in
Note
Because much of the electrical and optical card provisioning involves PM thresholds, see
"Performance Monitoring,"
monitoring parameters. In addition, refer to the Telcordia GR-1230-CORE, GR-820-CORE, and
GR-253-CORE documents. The default thresholds delivered with ONS 15327 cards are based on
specifications contained in those documents.

7.1 Performance Monitoring Thresholds

ONS 15327 card default thresholds are based on GR-253-CORE and GR-820-CORE. If you change their
settings, the following rules apply:

The minimum threshold that you can set is 1.
If you set a threshold to 0, no threshold crossing alert (TCA) is issued.
You can set thresholds to any DS-N or OC-N maximum. However, CTC does not perform range
checking. Setting a threshold to a value greater than what is logically possible is the same as setting
the threshold to zero. No TCA will be issued.
