Monitor Performance

Performance monitoring (PM) parameters are used by service providers to gather, store, set thresholds for, and report performance data for early detection of problems. In the following sections, PM parameters and concepts are defined for transponder, muxponder, and dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) cards in the Cisco ONS 15454 and Cisco NCS including optical amplifier, multiplexer, demultiplexer, optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM), and optical service channel (OSC) cards. It also explains how to enable and view performance monitoring (PM) statistics for the Cisco ONS 15454 and Cisco NCS. PM parameters are used by service providers to gather, store, set thresholds, and report performance data for early detection of problems. For more PM information, details, and definitions, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide and Cisco NCS 2000 Series Troubleshooting Guide.


Note


We recommend that you use either single EPNM session in standalone mode or EPNM with two servers in high availability mode. A single PM monitoring session is recommended either through EPNM, TL1, or SNMP.



Note


The procedures and tasks described in this chapter for the Cisco ONS 15454 platform is applicable to the Cisco ONS 15454 M2 and Cisco ONS 15454 M6, and Cisco NCS platform is applicable to the Cisco NCS 2002 and Cisco NCS 2006 platforms, unless noted otherwise.

Threshold Performance Monitoring

Thresholds are used to set error levels for each PM parameter. You can set individual PM threshold values from the Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) card view Provisioning tab.

During the accumulation cycle, if the current value of a PM parameter reaches or exceeds its corresponding threshold value, a threshold crossing alert (TCA) is generated by the node and is displayed by CTC. TCAs provide early detection of performance degradation. When a threshold is crossed, the node continues to count the errors during a given accumulation period. If zero is entered as the threshold value, generation of TCAs is disabled but performance monitoring continues.


Note


Due to memory limitations and the number of TCAs generated by different platforms, you can manually add or modify the following two properties to the platform property file (CTC.INI for Windows and .ctcrc for UNIX) to fit the need:
  • ctc.15xxx.node.tr.lowater=yyy (where xxx is platform and yyy is the number of the lowater mark. The default lowater mark is 25.)

  • ctc.15xxx.node.tr.hiwater= yyy (where xxx is platform and yyy is the number of the hiwater mark. The default hiwater mark is 50.)

If the number of the incoming TCA is greater than the hiwater mark, the node will keep the latest lowater mark and discard older ones.

Change the threshold if the default value does not satisfy your error monitoring needs. For example, customers with a critical OC192/STM64 transponder installed for 911 calls must guarantee the best quality of service on the line; therefore, they lower all thresholds on the client side so that the slightest error raises a TCA.


Note


When LOS, LOS-P, or LOF alarms occur on TXP and MXP trunks, ITU-T G.709/SONET/SDH TCAs are suppressed. For details, see Alarm and TCA Monitoring and Management .

Payload SONET PM Parameters

Definition

CV-S

Section Coding Violation (CV-S) is a count of bit interleaved parity (BIP) errors detected at the section layer (that is, using the B1 byte in the incoming SONET signal). Up to eight section BIP errors can be detected per STS-N frame; each error increments the current CV-S second register.

ES-S

Section Coding Violation (CV-S) is a count of bit interleaved parity (BIP) errors detected at the section layer (that is, using the B1 byte in the incoming SONET signal). Up to eight section BIP errors can be detected per STS-N frame; each error increments the current CV-S second register.

SES-S

Section Severely Errored Seconds (SES-S) is a count of the seconds when K (see Telcordia GR-253 for value) or more section-layer BIP errors were detected or an SEF or LOS defect was present.

SEFS-S

Severely Errored Framing Seconds (SEFS-S) is a count of the seconds when an SEF defect was present. An SEF defect is expected to be present during most seconds when an LOS or loss of frame (LOF) defect is present. However, there can be situations when the SEFS-S parameter is only incremented based on the presence of the SEF defect.

CV-L

Line Coding Violation (CV-L) indicates the number of coding violations occurring on the line. This parameter is a count of bipolar violations (BPVs) and excessive zeros (EXZs) occurring over the accumulation period.

ES-L

Line Errored Seconds (ES-L) is a count of the seconds containing one or more anomalies (BPV + EXZ) and/or defects (that is, loss of signal) on the line.

SES-L

Line Severely Errored Seconds (SES-L) is a count of the seconds containing more than a particular quantity of anomalies (BPV + EXZ > 44) and/or defects on the line.

UAS-L

Line Unavailable Seconds (UAS-L) is a count of the seconds when the line is unavailable. A line becomes unavailable when ten consecutive seconds occur that qualify as SES-Ls, and it continues to be unavailable until ten consecutive seconds occur that do not qualify as SES-Ls.

FC-L

Line Failure Count (FC-L) is a count of the number of near-end line failure events. A failure event begins when an Alarm Indication Signal Line (AIS-L) failure is declared or when a lower-layer, traffic-related, near-end failure is declared. This failure event ends when the failure is cleared. A failure event that begins in one period and ends in another period is counted only in the period where it begins.

MXP_MR_2.5G/MXPP_MR_2.5G Payload Utilization Window

The Payload PM Utilization window in the card view Performance > Payload> Utilization tab shows the percentage of transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) line bandwidth used by the ports during consecutive time segments. This tab cannot be viewed unless the appropriate PPM port type is provisioned. For PPM provisioning procedures, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Line Card Configuration Guide and Cisco NCS 2000 Series Line Card Configuration Guide. The Utilization window provides an Interval list that enables you to set time intervals of 15 minutes or 1 day. Line utilization is calculated with the following formulas:

Rx = (inOctets + inPkts * 20) * 8 / 100% interval * maxBaseRate

Tx = (outOctets + outPkts * 20) * 8 / 100% interval * maxBaseRate

The interval is defined in seconds. The maxBaseRate is defined by raw bits per second in one direction for the port (that is, 1 Gbps). The maxBaseRate for MXP_MR_2.5G and MXPP_MR_2.5G cards is shown for the ONS 15454 and NCS nodes in the following table.

txTotalPkts

Number of transmitted packets.

ifOutMulticastPkts

Number of multicast packets transmitted.

ifOutBroadcastPkts

Number of broadcast packets transmitted.

etherStatsJabbers

The total number of packets received that were longer than 1518 octets (excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets), and had either a bad FCS with an integral number of octets (FCS Error) or a bad FCS with a nonintegral number of octets (Alignment Error).

etherStatsOctets

The total number of octets of data (including those in bad packets) received on the network (excluding framing bits but including FCS octets.

etherStatsCRCAlignErrors

The total number of packets received that had a length (excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets) of between 64 and 1518 octets, inclusive, but had either a bad FCS with an integral number of octets (FCS Error) or a bad FCS with a nonintegral number of octets (Alignment Error).


Note


In certain congestion scenarios in GE_XP and 10GE_XP cards, dropped packets are counted both in ingress (IfIndiscards) and egress interface (IfOutDiscards) interface. As a result of this, some dropped packets are counted twice. The dropped packets on ingress interface can be ignored under this scenario.


Ether Ports Utilization Window

The Utilization window shows the percentage of transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) line bandwidth used by the Ethernet ports during consecutive time segments. The Mode field displays the real-time mode status, such as 100 Full, which is the mode setting configured on the E-Series port. However, if the E-Series port is set to autonegotiate the mode (Auto), this field shows the result of the link negotiation between the E-Series and the peer Ethernet device attached directly to the E-Series port.

The Utilization window provides an Interval drop-down list that enables you to set time intervals of 1 minute, 15 minutes, 1 hour, and 1 day. Line utilization is calculated with the following formulas:

Rx = (inOctets + inPkts * 20) * 8 / 100% interval *
maxBaseRate

Tx = (outOctets + outPkts * 20) * 8 / 100% interval *
maxBaseRate

The interval is defined in seconds. The maxBaseRate is defined by raw bits per second in one direction for the Ethernet port (that is, 1 Gbps).

Ether Port History Window

The Ether Port History window lists past Ethernet statistics for the previous time intervals. Depending on the selected time interval, the History window displays the statistics for each port for the number of previous time intervals as shown in the following table. The parameters are defined in Table 1.

Parameter

Definition

Bit Errors

Bit Errors are the number of bit errors corrected.

FEC (NE)

FEC enables correction and detection of errors along the optical links where OTN and FEC are provisioned. FEC uses Reed Solomon code RS (255,239) encoding. The FEC field is found in Rows 1 to 4 and Columns 3835 to 4080. It will contain either the Reed-Solomon RS(255,239) codes, or if FEC is disabled, fixed stuff bytes (zeros).

Note

 

The FEC PM information can be found in the card view Performance > OTN PM tab. FEC must be enabled on the transponder units in order for FEC PM values to be reported.

UNC-Words

Pointer Justification Count Performance Monitoring

For the MultiService Transport Platform (MSTP), only the MXP_2.5G_10G card uses pointer justification counts. Pointers are used to compensate for frequency and phase variations. Pointer justification counts indicate timing errors on networks. When a network is out of synchronization, jitter and wander occur on the transported signal. Excessive wander can cause terminating equipment to slip.

Slips cause different effects in service. Voice service has intermittent audible clicks. Compressed voice technology has short transmission errors or dropped calls. Fax machines lose scanned lines or experience dropped calls. Digital video transmission has distorted pictures or frozen frames. Encryption service loses the encryption key, causing data to be transmitted again.

For ONS 15454 and NCS ANSI nodes, pointers provide a way to align the phase variations in STS and VT payloads. The STS payload pointer is located in the H1 and H2 bytes of the line overhead. Clocking differences are measured by the offset in bytes from the pointer to the first byte of the STS synchronous payload envelope (SPE) called the J1 byte. Clocking differences that exceed the normal range of 0 to 782 can cause data loss.

For ONS 15454 and NCSETSI nodes, pointers provide a way to align the phase variations in VC4 payloads. The VC4 payload pointer is located in the H1 and H2 bytes of the AU pointers section and is a count of the number of bytes the VC4 path overhead (POH) J1 byte is away from the H3 byte, not including the section overhead bytes. Clocking differences are measured by the offset in bytes from the pointer to the first byte of the VC4 POH called the J1 byte. Clocking differences that exceed the normal range of 0 to 782 can cause data loss.

There are positive (PPJC) and negative (NPJC) pointer justification count parameters. PPJC is a count of path-detected (PPJC-PDET-P) or path-generated (PPJC-PGEN-P) positive pointer justifications. NPJC is a count of path-detected (NPJC-PDET-P) or path-generated (NPJC-PGEN-P) negative pointer justifications depending on the specific PM name. PJCDIFF is the absolute value of the difference between the total number of detected pointer justification counts and the total number of generated pointer justification counts. PJCS-PDET-P is a count of the one-second intervals containing one or more PPJC-PDET or NPJC-PDET. PJCS-PGEN-P is a count of the one-second intervals containing one or more PPJC-PGEN or NPJC-PGEN.

A consistent pointer justification count indicates clock synchronization problems between nodes. A difference between the counts means that the node transmitting the original pointer justification has timing variations with the node detecting and transmitting this count. For ONS 15454 and NCS SONET nodes, positive pointer adjustments occur when the frame rate of the SPE is too slow in relation to the rate of the STS-1. For ONS 15454 and NCS SDH nodes, positive pointer adjustments occur when the frame rate of the path overhead (POH) is too slow in relation to the rate of the VC4.

In CTC, the count fields for PPJC and NPJC PMs appear white and blank unless they are enabled on the card view Provisioning tab.

Step 6

From the Alarm Type drop-down list, indicate whether the event will be triggered by the rising threshold, the falling threshold, or both the rising and falling thresholds.

Step 7

From the Sample Type drop-down list, choose either Relative or Absolute. Relative restricts the threshold to use the number of occurrences in the user-set sample period. Absolute sets the threshold to use the total number of occurrences, regardless of time period.

Step 8

Enter the appropriate number of seconds for the Sample Period in the Sample Period field.

Step 9

Enter the appropriate number of occurrences for the Rising Threshold in the Rising Threshold field.

For a rising type of alarm, the measured value must move from below the falling threshold to above the rising threshold. For example, if a network is running below a rising threshold of 1000 collisions every 15 seconds and a problem causes 1001 collisions in 15 seconds, the excess occurrences trigger an alarm.

Step 10

Enter the appropriate number of occurrences in the Falling Threshold field. In most cases a falling threshold is set lower than the rising threshold.

A falling threshold is the counterpart to a rising threshold. When the number of occurrences is above the rising threshold and then drops below a falling threshold, it resets the rising threshold. For example, when the network problem that caused 1001 collisions in 15 seconds subsides and creates only 799 collisions in 15 seconds, occurrences fall below a falling threshold of 800 collisions. This resets the rising threshold so that if network collisions again spike over a 1000 per 15-second period, an event again triggers when the rising threshold is crossed. An event is triggered only the first time a rising threshold is exceeded (otherwise, a single network problem might cause a rising threshold to be exceeded multiple times and cause a flood of events).

Step 11

Click OK.

Step 12

To view all the RMON thresholds, click Show All RMON thresholds.

Step 13

DETAILED STEPS


Step 1

In node view (single-shelf mode), or shelf view (multishelf mode), double-click the transponder or muxponder card where you want to view the payload PM counts. The card view appears.

Step 2

Click the Performance > Payload PM tabs.

Step 3

Go to any of the tabs, subtabs, or ports (found in the Ports drop-down list where available) for the card where you want to view the payload PM parameters by clicking on the desired subtab, and choosing the port from the Port drop-down list.

Step 4

View the PM parameter names that appear in the Param column of the SONET (or SDH), Utilization, Statistics, and History tabs. The Statistics tab displays the PM data for the specific ports. The PM parameter values appear in the Prev and Prev-n (previous) columns in the Utilization and History tabs.

Note

 

The payload PMs for data parameters can be viewed only after creating a pluggable port module (PPM). For more information about PPMs, see the "NTP-G128 Manage Pluggable Port Modules" procedure in the chapter, "Provision Transponder and Muxponder Cards" of the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Line Card Configuration Guide and Cisco NCS 2000 Series Configuration Guide.

Note

 

The PM parameters that appear depend on the data payload and framing type provisioned on the port. Unframed data payloads such as Enterprise System Connection (ESCON), DV6000, DSI/D1 video, and high-definition television (HDTV) do not provide payload PM information. The PM parameters that appear also depend on the PPM payload configured. The TXP_MR_10E card supports OC-192/STM-64, 10GE, and 10G FC payloads; the MXP_2.5G_10G and MXP_2.5G_10E cards support the OC48/STM16 payload; the MXP_MR_2.5G and MXPP_MR_2.5G cards support the 1G FC, 2G FC, 1G FICON, 2G FICON, and 1GE payloads; the ADM-10G card supports the OC-3/STM-1, OC-12/STM-4, OC-48/STM-16, 1GIGE payloads on client ports and the OC-192/STM-64 payloads on trunk ports; the OTU2_XP card supports the OC-192/STM-64, 10GE, and 10G FC payloads.
