Use this procedure to configure G.709 thresholds. This task helps you complete the required configuration, verification, or management action in Cisco Optical Site Manager.
Define limits for key OTN performance parameters that trigger alarms or threshold crossing alerts (TCAs). By establishing these limits, network operators can proactively monitor the health and quality of OTN links, detect degradations or faults early, and maintain network reliability and performance.
Provisioning G.709 thresholds involves setting performance monitoring (PM) threshold values for OTN ports compliant with the ITU-T G.709 standard. These thresholds apply to various PM parameters and can be configured for Near End or Far End monitoring. The monitoring can occur over two time intervals:
-
fifteen minutes
-
one day
Before you begin
Follow these steps to provision the G.709 performance monitoring thresholds for the OTN ports.
Procedure
After you provision the G.709 thresholds and apply the configuration, the system continuously monitors the OTN ports against these thresholds. If any parameter exceeds its configured limit, the system generates an alert.
