The Cisco proprietary RPR Wrapped condition applies to CE100T-8 and ML-Series cards and occurs
when the Cisco proprietary RPR protocol initiates a ring wrap due to a fiber cut, node failure, node
restoration, new node insertion, or other traffic problem. It can also be raised if the POS port has an
Admin down condition. (In this case, you will not see any SONET-level alarms or the “TPTFAIL
(ML100T, ML1000, MLFX)” alarm on page 2-249.)
When the wrap occurs, traffic is redirected to the original destination by sending it in the opposite
direction around the ring after a link state change or after receiving any SONET path-level alarms.
Note ML-Series card POS interfaces normally send the “PDI-P” alarm on page 2-193 to the far end when the
POS link goes down or when Cisco proprietary RPR wraps. ML-Series card POS interfaces do not send
a PDI-P alarm to the far end when this alarm is detected, when the alarm is being sent to the far end, or
when the only defects being detected are the “GFP-LFD” alarm on page 2-119, the “GFP-CSF” alarm
on page 2-117, the VCAT “LOM” alarm on page 2-154, or the VCAT “SQM” alarm on page 2-231.
Note For more information about ML-Series Ethernet cards, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 and
Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide.
Clear the RPRW Condition
Step 1 Look for and clear any service-affecting SONET path-level alarms on the affected circuit, such as the
“LOP-P” alarm on page 2-155, the “LOS-P (TRUNK)” alarm on page 2-166, the “PLM-P” alarm on
page 2-195, or the “TIM-P” alarm on page 2-245. Clearing such an alarm can also clear RPRW.
Step 2 If the condition does not clear, look for and clear any service alarms for the ML-Series card itself, such
as the “CARLOSS (CEMR, CE1000, CE100T)” alarm on page 2-58, the “CARLOSS (ML1000,
ML100T, MLFX)” alarm on page 2-65, the “TPTFAIL (CEMR, CE100T, CE1000)” alarm on
page 2-247, or the “TPTFAIL (ML100T, ML1000, MLFX)” alarm on page 2-249.
Step 3 If the condition 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).
2.7.355 RUNCFG-SAVENEED
Default Severity: Not Alarmed (NA), Non-Service-Affecting (NSA)
SONET Logical Object: EQPT
The Run Configuration Save Needed condition occurs when you change the running configuration file
for ML-Series cards. It is a reminder that you must save the change to the startup configuration file for
it to be permanent.
The condition clears after you save the running configuration to the startup configuration, such as by
entering the following command in privileged executive mode in the CLI:
router# copy run start
If you do not save the change, the change is lost after the card reboots. If the command “copy run start”
is executed in configuration mode and not privileged executive mode, the running configuration will be
saved, but the alarm will not clear.
