PM General Information

PM Statistics
1 Day 2 Bins, current & previous day
15 Minute 33 Bins, current, 32 history (indexes 1~32) accommodates 8
hours of history of 15 minute bins
Rollover counts available via SNMP only

15 minute intervals are aligned to the quarter hour. They end at :00, :15,
:30 and :45

1 day intervals are aligned to the day. They end at midnight.

History counts are managed in a circular fashion with the oldest bin being
overwritten at the end of an interval when a current bin transitions to a
history bin.

PM data does not survive reboots

A bin is marked suspect if duration of the collection period is off the

expected duration by more than +/- 10 seconds. Link down/LOS will also
result in a bin being marked suspect. Designated by an asterisk to the
left of the time in the GUI.

 Performance monitoring
Performance Monitoring enables in-service, non-intrusive system monitoring
to aid in isolating and diagnosing issues that may occur during operation.

Selecting the performance monitoring application allows the user to view

performance counts, view and edit threshold settings and initialize registers

 Unavailable Seconds

Unavailable Seconds (UAS) on Ethernet ports and EVCs.

Used by Network/Service Management Systems to compute port-
based and VID-based service availability

For Ports this parameter counts up if service affecting defects are

reported on link level, SFP, EFM-OAM or CFM.

For EVCs UAS counts up if the underlying port is unavailable or

service affecting conditions are reported by CFM.

 Optical PMs

All interfaces that are configured with an SFP support optical

PMs
Note that not all SFPs support the digital diagnostic monitoring
interface (DDMI) which provides access to the following optical
performance parameters.

Abbr Count Name Dir Description

LBC Laser Bias Current RX The laser bias current in mA (1 to 131 mA)

OPR Optical Power Receive RX The receive optical power in dBm (-76 to +16 dBm).

OPT Optical Power Transmit TX The transmit optical power in dBm (-76 to +16 dBm).

 Threshold Crossing Alerts

User provisionable threshold values are supported for all Performance

Monitoring counts and ESA probe statistics.

A separate threshold value is available for each bin interval (e.g. 15-
minute and 1-day for PM)

When the PM count exceeds the provisioned threshold value, a Threshold

Crossing Alert (TCA) is generated. A value threshold of 0 disables TCA
generation.
For OPR/OPT: -80 disables TCAs generation. TCA generated if measured value
differs from configured threshold by +/- 4 dBm

The TCA is a transient condition the TCA represents the crossing of

the threshold, not the fact that the count is above the threshold. As a
result, TCAs are not explicitly cleared or visible via show conditions.

When a TCA is generated, an event is logged in the Alarm Log (unless the
admin state of the entity precludes this) and an SNMP trap is generated,
if one or more trap handlers are defined.

More than one TCA may be generated for a single count in an interval.
This can happen if the count is initialized to 0 and crosses the threshold
value a second time in the same interval.

24 2010 ADVA Optical Networking. All rights reserved. Confidential.

 TCA configuration
Right clicking on an entity and selecting edit thresholds opens the threshold
configuration window, allowing the user to configure 15 minute and 1 day
thresholds;

Note setting a threshold to 0 disables threshold monitoring for that parameter
