DLP-A522 Suppress Alarm Reporting
Caution If multiple CTC/TL1 sessions are open, suppressing alarms in one session suppresses the alarms in all
other open sessions.
Note Alarm suppression at the node level does not supersede alarm suppression at the card or port level.
Suppression can exist independently for all three entities, and each entity will raise separate Alarms
Suppressed by User Command (AS-CMD) alarm.
Step 1 To suppress alarms for the entire node:
a. From node view, click the Provisioning > Alarm Profiles > Alarm Behavior tabs.
b. Check the Suppress Alarms check box.
c. Click Apply.
All raised alarms for the node will change color to white in the Alarms window and their status will
change to cleared. After suppressing alarms, clicking Synchronize in the Alarms window will remove
cleared alarms from the window. However, an AS-CMD alarm will show in node or card view to indicate
that node-level alarms were suppressed, and the word System will appear in the Object column.
Note The only way to suppress building integrated timing supply (BITS), power source, or system
alarms is to suppress alarms for the entire node. These cannot be suppressed separately, but the
shelf backplane can be.
Step 2 To suppress alarms for individual cards:
a. Locate the card row (using the Location column for the slot number or the Eqpt Type column for the
equipment name).
b. Check the Suppress Alarms column check box on that row.
Alarms that directly apply to this card will change appearance as described in Step 1. For example, if
you suppressed raised alarms for an OC-48 card in Slot 16, raised alarms for this card will change in
node or card view. The AS-CMD alarm will show the slot number in the Object number. For example,
if you suppressed alarms for a Slot 16 OC-48 card, the AS-CMD object will be “SLOT-16.”
Click Apply.
Step 3 To suppress alarms for individual card ports:
a. Double-click the card in node view. Depending on which card ports you want to suppress alarm
reporting on, click the following tabs:
• If the card is an FC_MR-4, E-Series Ethernet, G-Series Ethernet, OC-N, or electrical (DS-1,
DS-1N, DS-3, DS-3E, DS-3I, DS-3I-N, DS-3N, DS-3NE, DS3XM, or EC-1) card, click the
Provisioning > Alarm Profiles > Alarm Behavior tabs.
• If the card is an ML-Series Ethernet (traffic) card, click the Provisioning > Ether Alarming >
Alarm Behavior tabs to apply the profile to the front physical ports, or the Provisioning >
POS Alarming > Alarm Behavior tabs to apply the profile to the POS ports. For more
information about ML-Series card ports and service, see the Ethernet Card Software Feature
and Configuration Guide for the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH, Cisco ONS 15454, and
Cisco ONS 15327.
