Clear the ERROR-CONFIG Alarm
Step 1 If you have a different type of ML-Series card specified in the startup configuration file than what you
have installed, create the correct startup configuration.
Follow the card provisioning instructions in the Cisco ONS 15454 and Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Ethernet
Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide.
Step 2 Upload the configuration file to the TCC2/TCC2P:
a. In node view, right-click the ML-Series card graphic.
b. Choose IOS Startup Config from the shortcut menu.
c. Click Local > TCC and navigate to the file location in the Open dialog box.
Step 3 Complete the “Reset a Traffic Card in CTC” procedure on page 2-270.
Step 4 If the alarm does not clear or if your configuration file was correct according to the installed card, start
a Cisco IOS CLI for the card:
a. Right click the ML-Series card graphic in node view.
b. Choose Open IOS Connection from the shortcut menu.
Note Open IOS Connection is not available unless the ML-Series card is physically installed in
the shelf.
Follow the card provisioning instructions in the Cisco ONS 15454 and Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Ethernet
Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide to correct the errored configuration file line.
Step 5 Execute the CLI command:
router(config)#copy run start
The command copies the new card configuration into the database and clears the alarm.
Step 6 If the alarm does not clear, log into the Technical Support Website at http://www.cisco.com/techsupport
for more information or call Cisco TAC 1 800 553-2447.
