2.7.151 GFP-CSF
2.7.151 GFP-CSF
Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA)
SONET Logical Objects: CEMR, CE1000, CE100T, FCMR, GFP-FAC, ML1000, ML100T, MLFX
The GFP Client Signal Fail Detected alarm is a secondary alarm raised on local GFP data ports when a
remote Service-Affecting (SA) alarm causes invalid data transmission. The alarm is raised locally on
FC_MR-4, ML100T, ML1000, ML100X-8, MXP_MR_25G, and MXPP_MR_25G GFP data ports and
does not indicate that a Service-Affecting (SA) failure is occurring at the local site, but that a CARLOSS,
LOS, or SYNCLOSS alarm caused by an event such as a pulled receive cable is affecting a remote data
port's transmission capability. This alarm can be demoted when a facility loopback is placed on the
FC_MR-4 port.
Note For more information about provisioning MXP or TXP cards, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM
Reference Manual. For more information about Ethernet cards, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 and
Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide.
Clear the GFP-CSF Alarm
Step 1 Clear the Service-Affecting (SA) alarm at the remote data port.
Step 2 If the GFP-CSF 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 to report a
Service-Affecting (SA) problem.
2.7.152 GFP-DE-MISMATCH
Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA)
SONET Logical Objects: FCMR, GFP-FAC
The GFP Fibre Channel Distance Extension Mismatch alarm indicates that a port configured for
Distance Extension is connected to a port that is not operating in Cisco's proprietary Distance Extension
mode. It is raised on Fibre Channel and FICON card GFP ports supporting distance extension. The alarm
occurs when distance extension is enabled on one side of the transport but not on the other. To clear,
distance extension must be enabled on both ports connected by a circuit.
Note For more information about Ethernet cards, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 and
Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide.
Clear the GFP-DE-MISMATCH Alarm
Step 1 Ensure that the distance extension protocol is configured correctly on both sides:
a. Double-click the card to open the card view.
b. Click the Provisioning > Port > General tabs.
