Chapter 2 Alarm Troubleshooting
2.7.421 TPTFAIL (ML100T, ML1000, MLFX)
Step 2 If no alarms are reported by the OC-N card, or if the “PDI-P” condition on page 2-193 is reported, the
problem could be on the far-end G1000-4 port. Clear any alarms, such as CARLOSS, reported against
the far-end port or card.
Step 3 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 in order to report a Service-Affecting (SA)
problem.
2.7.421 TPTFAIL (ML100T, ML1000, MLFX)
Default Severity: Major (MJ), Service-Affecting (SA)
SONET Logical Objects: ML100T, ML1000, MLFX
The TPT Layer Failure alarm for the ML-Series Ethernet card indicates a break in the end-to-end
packet-over-SONET (POS) link integrity feature of the ML-Series POS cards. TPTFAIL indicates a
far-end condition or misconfiguration of the POS port.
The TPTFAIL alarm indicates a problem on the SONET path, a problem on the remote POS port, or a
misconfiguration of the POS port that prevents the complete end-to-end POS path from working. If any
SONET path alarms such as the “AIS-P” condition on page 2-37, the “LOP-P” alarm on page 2-155, the
“PDI-P” condition on page 2-193, or the “UNEQ-P” alarm on page 2-252 exist on the circuit used by the
POS port, the affected port could report a TPTFAIL alarm. If the far-end ML POS port is
administratively disabled, it inserts an “AIS-P” condition on page 2-37 that is detected by the near-end
port. The near-end port could report TPTFAIL in this event. If the POS port is misconfigured at the
Cisco IOS CLI level, the misconfiguration causes the port to go down and report TPTFAIL.
Note For more information about the ML-Series Ethernet cards, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 and
Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide.
Clear the TPTFAIL (ML100T, ML1000, MLFX) Alarm
Step 1 If there are no SONET alarms reported against the POS port circuit, verify that both POS ports are
properly configured. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 and Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Ethernet Card Software
Feature and Configuration Guide for configuration information.
Step 2 If the “PLM-P” alarm on page 2-195 is the only one reported against the POS port circuit, verify that
both POS ports are properly configured. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 and
Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide for configuration
information.
Step 3 If the “PDI-P” condition on page 2-193 is the only one reported against the POS port circuit and the
circuit is terminated by a G-Series card, determine whether a “CARLOSS (G1000)” alarm on page 2-62
is reported against the G-Series card, and if so, complete the “Clear the CARLOSS (G1000) Alarm”
procedure on page 2-63.
Step 4 If the “AIS-P” alarm on page 2-37, the “LOP-P” alarm on page 2-155, or the “UNEQ-P” alarm on
page 2-252 is present, clear those alarms using the procedures in those sections.
