Monitor Performance

---

Performance monitoring (PM) parameters are used by service providers to gather, store, threshold, and report performance data for early detection of problems. For more PM information, details, and definitions refer to the "Performance Monitoring" chapter in the Cisco ONS 15327 Troubleshooting Guide. This chapter explains how to enable and view performance monitoring statistics for the Cisco ONS 15327.

Before You Begin

Before performing any of the following procedures, investigate all alarms and clear any trouble conditions. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15327 Troubleshooting Guide as necessary.

This section lists the chapter procedures (NTPs). Turn to a procedure for applicable tasks (DLPs).

1. B73 Enable Performance Monitoring—Complete as needed.

2. B195 Monitor Electrical or Optical Performance—Complete as needed.

3. B198 Monitor Ethernet Performance—Complete as needed.

4. B235 Create or Delete Ethernet RMON Thresholds—Complete as needed.

Note For additional information regarding PM parameters, refer to Telcordia's GR-1230-CORE, GR-499-CORE, and GR-253-CORE documents and GR-820-CORE document titled Generic Digital Transmission Surveillance, and in the ANSI T1.231 document entitled Digital Hierarchy—Layer 1 In-Service Digital Transmission Performance Monitoring.

NTP-B73 Enable Performance Monitoring

Purpose	This procedure enables performance monitoring.
Tools/Equipment	None
Prerequisite Procedures	None
Required/As Needed	As needed
Onsite/Remote	Onsite or remote
Security Level	Provisioning or higher

---

Step 1 Complete the "DLP-B60 Log into CTC" task at the node you want to monitor. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.

Step 2 Complete the "DLP-B121 Enable Pointer Justification Count Performance Monitoring" task if you need to monitor clock synchronization.

Step 3 Complete the "DLP-B122 Enable Intermediate-Path Performance Monitoring" task if you need to monitor large amounts of STS traffic through intermediate nodes.

Stop. You have completed this procedure.

NTP-B195 Monitor Electrical or Optical Performance

Purpose	The Performance Monitoring window allows you to view node near-end or far-end performance on a selected card and port at specified time intervals to detect possible performance problems.
Tools/Equipment	None
Prerequisite Procedures	Before you monitor performance, be sure you have created the appropriate circuits and provisioned the card according to your specifications. For more information, see "Create Circuits and VT Tunnels" and "Change Port Settings."
Required/As Needed	As needed
Onsite/Remote	Onsite or remote
Security Level	Retrieve or higher

---

Step 1 Complete the "DLP-B60 Log into CTC" task at the node you want to monitor. If you are already logged in, continue to Step 2.

Step 2 Complete the "DLP-B123 View Electrical PM Parameters" task or the "DLP-B317 View Optical OC-N PM Parameters" task as needed.

Step 3 As needed, use the following tasks to change the display of electrical or optical PM counts:

•B261 Refresh PM Counts for a Different Port

•B124 Refresh Electrical or Optical PM Counts at Fifteen-Minute Intervals

•B318 Refresh Electrical or Optical PM Counts at One-Day Intervals

•B319 Monitor PM Counts for Selected Signal Types

•B126 Monitor Near-End PM Counts

•B127 Monitor Far-End PM Counts

•B129 Reset Current PM Counts

•B130 Clear Selected PM Counts

•B260 Set Auto-Refresh Interval for Displayed PM Counts

Stop. You have completed this procedure.

NTP-B198 Monitor Ethernet Performance

Purpose	This procedure allows you to view node transmit and receive performance on an Ethernet card and port at specified time intervals to detect possible performance problems.
Tools/Equipment	None
Prerequisite Procedures	Before you monitor performance, be sure you have created the appropriate circuits and provisioned the card according to your specifications. For more information, see "Create Circuits and VT Tunnels" and "Change Port Settings."
Required/As Needed	As needed
Onsite/Remote	Onsite
Security Level	Retrieve or higher

---

Step 1 Complete the "DLP-B60 Log into CTC" task at the node you want to monitor. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.

Step 2 Complete the "DLP-B256 View Ethernet Statistics PM Parameters" task as needed.

Step 3 As needed, use the following tasks to change the display of Ethernet statistical PM counts:

•B260 Set Auto-Refresh Interval for Displayed PM Counts

•B129 Reset Current PM Counts

•B130 Clear Selected PM Counts

Step 4 Complete the "DLP-B257 View Ethernet Utilization PM Parameters" task as needed.

Step 5 As needed, use the "DLP-B259 Refresh Ethernet PM Counts at a Different Time Interval" task to change the display of Ethernet utilization PM counts.

Step 6 Complete the "DLP-B258 View Ethernet History PM Parameters" task as needed.

Step 7 As needed, use the following tasks to change the display of Ethernet history PM counts:

•B261 Refresh PM Counts for a Different Port

•B259 Refresh Ethernet PM Counts at a Different Time Interval

Stop. You have completed this procedure.

NTP-B235 Create or Delete Ethernet RMON Thresholds

Purpose	Use this procedure to create or delete remote monitoring (RMON) Ethernet thresholds for the ONS 15327.
Tools/Equipment	None
Prerequisite Procedures	None
Required/As Needed	As needed
Onsite/Remote	Onsite or remote
Security Level	Provisioning or higher

---

Step 1 Complete the "DLP-B60 Log into CTC" task. If you are already logged in, continue with Step 2.

Step 2 Perform any of the following tasks as needed:

•B334 Create Ethernet RMON Alarm Thresholds

•B335 Delete Ethernet RMON Alarm Thresholds

Stop. You have completed this procedure.
