Supported Service Alarms


This appendix provides the list of service alarms that are supported by Cisco ANA 3.6.


Note If the source of the alarm is an interface with technology which is not supported by Cisco ANA, then the alarm will not be generated.



Note If the source of the alarm is an entity which is not modeled by Cisco ANA, for example, an unsupported module, then the alarm will not be generated.


The columns displayed in Table A-1 relate to the configuration parameters described in this guide. For more information about these parameters, see Event (Sub-Type) Configuration Parameters, page 6-2.

The following table lists the supported service alarms:

Note The service alarms specified in this guide are VNE-related and therefore the level of support provided for each technology may vary. The user should refer to the Virtual Network Element Reference Guide for details.


Shelf Out

A Shelf out alarm is issued when a shelf is removed from a network element. This alarm applies only to network elements that support removable or subtended shelves, such as the ECI HiFocus and the Alcatel ASAM. The Shelf in alarm is issued after the problem has been fixed.

Rx Dormant

An Rx Dormant alarm is issued when the traffic received over a physical port (measured as a percentage of the port's capacity) drops below a predefined threshold. The alarm description includes the current traffic percentage compared with the defined threshold. This alarm provides service providers with a method for identifying customer services that have slowed down significantly or stopped altogether. An Rx Dormant Normal alarm is issued after the traffic percentage exceeds a predefined upper threshold. By default, the Rx Dormant alarm is disabled. This alarm is enabled and its thresholds are configured using the Cisco ANA Registry Editor.


Note Changes to the registry should be carried out only with the support of Cisco Professional Services.


Tx Dormant

A Tx Dormant alarm is issued when the traffic transmitted over a physical port (measured as a percentage of the port's capacity) drops below a predefined threshold. The alarm description includes the current traffic percentage compared with the defined threshold. This alarm provides service providers with a method for identifying customer services that have slowed down significantly or stopped altogether. A Tx Dormant Normal alarm is issued after the traffic percentage exceeds a predefined upper threshold. By default, the Tx Dormant alarm is disabled. This alarm is enabled and its thresholds are configured using the Cisco ANA Registry Editor.

Link Over Utilized

A link over utilized alarm is issued when the traffic transmitted over a port that is connected to another port via a network link (measured as a percentage of the port's capacity) exceeds a predefined threshold. The port over utilization alarm is correlated into a link over utilized alarm. If the ports at both ends of a link are overutilized, the two port over utilization alarms are correlated into a single link over utilization alarm. The alarm description includes the direction of the overutilization. A link utilization normal alarm is issued when the utilization level falls below a predefined threshold. The overutilization thresholds are configured using the Cisco ANA Registry Editor.
