DLP-G120 View Conditions
Step 1 From card, node, or network view, click the Conditions tab.
Step 2 Click Retrieve.
The Retrieve button requests the current set of fault conditions from the node, card, or network. The
window is not updated when events change on the node. You must click Retrieve to see any changes.
Conditions include all fault conditions raised on the node, whether or not they are reported.
Note Alarms can be unreported if they are filtered out of the display. See the “DLP-G126 Enable
Alarm Filtering” task on page 8-25 for information.
Events that are reported as Major (MJ), Minor (MN), or Critical (CR) severities are alarms. Events that
are reported as Not Alarmed (NA) are conditions. Conditions that are not reported at all are marked
Not Reported (NR) in the Conditions window severity column.
Conditions that have a default severity of Critical (CR), Major (MJ), Minor (MN), or Not Alarmed (NA)
but are not reported due to exclusion or suppression are shown as NR in the Conditions window.
Note For more information about alarm suppression, see the “DLP-G129 Suppress Alarm Reporting”
task on page 8-29.
Current conditions are shown with the severity chosen in the alarm profile, if used. For more information
about alarm profiles, see the “NTP-G68 Create, Download, and Assign Alarm Severity Profiles”
procedure on page 8-16.
Note When a port is placed in the Out-of-Service and Management, Maintenance
(OOS-MA,MT) (ANSI) or Locked-enabled, maintenance (ETSI) service state, it raises an
Alarms Suppressed for Maintenance (AS-MT) condition. For information about alarm and
condition troubleshooting, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Troubleshooting Guide, the
Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide, or the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH
Troubleshooting Guide.
Step 3 If you want to apply exclusion rules, check the Exclude Same Root Cause check box at the node or
network view, but do not check the Exclude Same Root Cause check box in card view.
Purpose This task is used to view conditions (events with a Not Reported [NR]
severity) at the card, node, or network level. Conditions give you a clear
record of changes or events that do not result in alarms.
