Logical Object: LC

The TEMPERATURE alarm is raised when the temperature of a sensor exceeds the normal operating range because of any of the following reasons:

  • One or more fans stops working.

  • Inadequate airflow.

  • Environmental temperature of the room is abnormally high.

The alarm appears in the following format:

  • [sensor name]: temperature alarm.

Clear the TEMPERATURE Alarm

Procedure

Step 1

Check the fan speed and temperature values using the show environment command.

Step 2

Check environmental temperature of the room is not abnormally high.

Step 3

Ensure that:

  1. There are no airflow obstructions.

  2. Fans are working fine.

TIM Alarm

Default Severity: Critical, Service-Affecting (SA)

Logical Object: TRUNK

The Trail Trace Identifier Mismatch (TIM) alarm is raised when the expected TTI string does not match the received TTI string.

Clear the TIM Alarm

Procedure

Identify the cause for different expected and received TTI strings and resolve. The TIM mismatch can be caused due to mismatch in fiber connections.

TX-POWER-FAIL-LOW

Default Severity: Critical (CR), Service-Affecting (SA)

Logical Object: Controller DFB, Controller OSC, Controller OTS-OCH, Controller OMS, or Controller OCH

Supported from release: R25.1.1

The TX-POWER-FAIL-LOW alarm is raised when the output of the OTS power reading is below the Fail-Low threshold.

Clear the TX-POWER-FAIL-LOW Alarm

Procedure

Step 1

Check if the threshold values are correct using the show controllers ots R/S/I/P command.

Step 2

Check if the corresponding Rx power is correct using the show controllers ots R/S/I/P command. For example, an OTS Controller 2 TX receives power from the controller 0 RX.

Step 3

Check the configured EDFA gain values using the using the show controllers ots R/S/I/P command.

Step 4

Check for any hardware failure alarms using the show alarms brief system active command.

UPGRADE_LICENSE_GRACE_PERIOD_REMAINING

Default Severity: Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

Logical Object: plat_sl_client

The UPGRADE_LICENSE_GRACE_PERIOD_REMAINING alarm is raised when a software upgrade is allowed in the upgrade license grace period.

Clear Upgrade License Grace Period Remaining

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. This alarm is cleared when SIA licenses are purchased.

DETAILED STEPS

This alarm is cleared when SIA licenses are purchased.

[Low | High] Voltage

Default Severity: Critical (CR), Minor (MN), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA), Service Affecting (SA)


Note

The severity of the alarm is determined by the voltage values detected by the sensor.

Logical Object: LC

A [Low | High] Voltage is raised if any of the internal voltage measurements are not within the operating range. Following are the formats of the alarms along with their descriptions:

  • [sensor name]: high voltage alarm is raised when the voltage is above the operating range.

  • [sensor name]: low voltage alarm is raised when the voltage is below the operating range.

Clear the [Low | High] Voltage Alarm

Procedure

Verify the voltage of the power source. The voltage alarms clear automatically when the voltage is within the operating conditions. The voltage rating value varies depending on the standards of different countries for AC and DC power ranges.

If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/index.html for more information or call Cisco TAC (1 800 553-2447).

UNC-WORD Alarm

Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)

Logical Object: TRUNK

The Uncorrected FEC Word (UNC-WORD) condition is raised when the FEC is unable to correct the frame.

Clear the UNC-WORD Alarm

Procedure

Step 1

Ensure that the fiber connector for the card is completely plugged in.

Step 2

Ensure that the ports on the far end and near end nodes have the same port rates and FEC settings.

Step 3

If the BER threshold is correct and at the expected level, use an optical test set to measure the power level of the line to ensure it is within guidelines. For specific procedures to use the test set equipment, consult the manufacturer.

Step 4

If the optical power level is good, verify that the optical receive levels are within the acceptable range.

Step 5

If the condition does not clear, verify that a single-mode fiber is used.

Step 6

Clean the fiber connectors at both ends for a signal degrade.

UNSTABLE_LINK_E

Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA)

Logical Object: ESD

The UNSTABLE_LINK_E alarm is raised when there is an unstable link with high number of UP and DOWN state changes.

Clear the UNSTABLE_LINK_E Alarm

Procedure

Cisco IOS XR automatically detects and clears this alarm by resetting the port.

If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/index.html for more information or call Cisco TAC (1 800 553-2447).
