Provisioning STM Port

Perform the steps given below to provision interface parameters of a STM port.

  1. Click Configuration > Facilities > STM in the navigation pane. The STM Port interface configuration preview pane is displayed.
  2. Click on the desired STMn port link. The corresponding Provision interface - STMn-1-<slot no.>-<port no.> preview pane is displayed.

    Provision interface - STM Port

  3. Select or enter the value for desired editable parameters. Refer to Provision interface- STM parameters table for parameter description, the default and acceptable values supported.
  4. Click Submit. A confirmation message is displayed.
  5. Click Accept Valid Modifications. A "Successfully Modified" message is displayed under the Warnings field.

    A click on Back link will direct you to Provision interface preview pane of the same interface.

TIM Action

TIM Action settings control handling of mismatches between received and expected trace messages. Allows you to select the action taken on trace identifier match as:

  • tim_report: Reports trace identifier mismatch, not traffic affecting.
  • tim_ignore: Does not report trace identifier mismatch.
  • tim_downstream_ais: Reports trace identifier mismatch and sends Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) downstream, which is traffic affecting.

tim-ignore

  • tim_report
  • tim_ignore
  • tim_downstream_ais

Signal Fail BER Threshold (B2)

Allows you to enable or disable Signal Fail BER thresholds.

  • Enable: Enables selecting the threshold, on crossing, which Signal Fail alarm is raised for errors detected by B2.
  • Disable: Signal Fail BER Thresholds are disabled.

Disable

  • 1e-3
  • 1e-4
  • 1e-5
  • Disable

Signal Degrade BER Threshold (B2)

Allows you to enable or disable Signal Degrade BER thresholds.

Threshold (for TCA-15min)

Parameter to enable TCA (Threshold Crossing Alerts) for 15 minutes duration.

  • Enable: TCA is user configured for 15 minutes interval. If this field is enabled, an alert/event is raised on Performance Monitoring counts crossing the threshold value. The thresholds are changed from the TCA Settings for 15-min duration link on same page.
  • Disable: TCA are disabled.
  • Default: Default values for the thresholds are used.

Link Bundling

Allows you to enable or disable link bundling on the port.

In case of multiple paths between two nodes and link bundling enabled on all the links, protocols namely OSPF-TE, RSVP, and CSPF will be enabled and the related information will be shared via a single Bundled Interface created. In essence, only one adjacency shall be created with that neighbor using any non-faulty link.

Disable

  • Disable
  • Enable
