Log in

This section explains how Automatic-In-Service (AINS) features allow controllers to automatically transition to the in-service state after maintenance, suppressing alarms and ensuring system stability during the process.

AINS features are controller management mechanisms that

  • enable controllers to automatically transition to the in-service state following the completion of a maintenance window,

  • associate a soak time period with the AINS state to ensure stability before service is resumed, and

  • suppress alarm propagation to the EMS/NMS monitoring systems during the maintenance window

    .

AINS has three operational states that indicate the current status of the Automatic-In-Service feature on a controller. The state transitions are triggered by alarm conditions, soak timer expiry, and controller readiness.

AINS states

This table describes the AINS states.

Table 1. AINS states

State

Description

None

AINS is not enabled on the controller or the soak time period is complete.

Pending

AINS is configured on the controller. However, the soak time period has not started because either the primary state of the controller is in Shutdown, Admin down, or Not ready state, or the secondary state is in Maintenance state. AINS can also move to Pending state if alarms are raised during the soak time period.

Running

AINS is enabled on the controller. The primary state of the controller is Up and the secondary state is AINS.

If service-affecting alarms occur when AINS is running on ethernet or optics controllers, the AINS state changes to Pending. When the alarms are cleared, the AINS state returns to Running.

The soak time period restarts when events such as line card reloads, XR reloads, line card warm reloads, power cycles, or alarm conditioning occur.

Soak time period behavior

You can configure the soak time period to be between 1 minute to 48 hours.

All alarms are suppressed during the AINS state. When optical and ethernet alarms are raised on the port during the soak time period, the AINS state moves to Pending. These alarms are not displayed in the output of the show alarms brief card location 0/RP0/CPU0 active command, but appear in the output of the show alarms brief card location 0/RP0/CPU0 conditions command. When all the alarms clear, the soak time period starts, and the AINS state moves to Running. When the soak time period expires, the port moves to IS state.

Configure AINS on muxponder

To automate the transition of muxponder client ports or slices to the In-Service state after a user-defined soak period, reducing the need for manual intervention.

Follow these steps to configure AINS on a muxponder:

Procedure

1.

Run the configure hw-module location location mxponder client-port-ains-soak hours hours minutes minutes comand to configure AINS on a muxponder.

Example:

This is a sample in which all client ports are configured with AINS with soak time period specified to be 15 minutes.


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#hw-module location 0/3 mxponder client-port-ains-soak hours 0 minutes 15
2.

Run the configure hw-module location location mxponder-slice slice-number client-port-ains-soak hours hours minutes minutes comand configure AINS on a muxponder slice.

Example:

This is a sample in which slice 0 client ports are configured with AINS with soak time period specified to be 40 minutes.


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#hw-module location 0/3 mxponder-slice 0 client-port-ains-soak hours 0 minutes 40
3.

Run the commit command to save and apply the configuration changes.

Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#commit

Disable AINS on muxponder

To disable AINS on muxponder client ports, set both the hours and minutes values to 0. This applies to all client ports on the muxponder, or to a specific slice.

Follow these steps to disable AINS on muxponder client ports:

Procedure

1.

Run the configure hw-module location location mxponder client-port-ains-soak hours hours minutes minutes to disable AINS on all muxponder client ports. Set the hours and minutes to 0.

Example:

This is a sample in which AINS is disabled on all client ports.


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#hw-module location 0/3 mxponder client-port-ains-soak hours 0 minutes 0
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#commit
2.

Run the configure hw-module location location mxponder-slice slice-number client-port-ains-soak hours hoursminutes minutes command to disable AINS on a muxponder slice. Set the hours and minutes to 0.

Example:

This is a sample in which AINS is disabled on all client ports of slice 0.


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#hw-module location 0/3 mxponder-slice 0 client-port-ains-soak hours 0 minutes 0
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#commit
3.

Run the commit command to save and apply the configuration changes.

Example:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#commit

Display AINS configuration

Ensure that controllers are operating with the correct AINS configuration and determine their current state.

The AINS Soak field in the output indicates the current AINS state: None, Pending, or Running. The Total Duration field shows the configured soak time period. The Remaining Duration field shows the time remaining before the AINS state moves to None.

Follow these steps to display the AINS configuration and check its current state:

Procedure

Run the show controller command to verify the AINS state for ethernet controllers and optics controllers.

This example displays the ethernet controller statistics with AINS Soak in running state.

Configure AINS on OTN-XP card

Enable and customize AINS soak timers to automate service state transitions for OTN-XP card controllers.

You can configure the default AINS settings for all controllers on the OTN-XP card using the shared plane configuration. The configuration is applied to any line card that is installed in the NCS 1004.

Follow these steps to configure AINS on the OTN-XP card:

Procedure

1.

Run the configure ains-soak hours hours minutes minutes command.

Example:

This is a sample in which all the controllers on the OTN-XP card are configured with AINS with soak time period specified to be two minutes.
