Performance monitors monitor the health of the IPLC modules at various points on the
IPLC hardware based on threshold crossing alerts (TCA)s. This topic describes how to
enable and configure TCAs for the IPLC performance monitors.
TCAs can give the management system an early indication as to the state of the
associated entity when it crosses a certain threshold. TCAs are alarms that are activated
when a certain configurable threshold—near-end measurement threshold or far-end
measurement threshold—is crossed and remains so until the end of the 15-minute interval
and the 24-hour interval for parameters such as OTU and ODU.
The timely detection of TCAs is essential to proactively manage an IPLC. TCAs are not
an indication of a fault, but rather an indication that the entity may be close to a fault.
You can enable the TCA that you want monitor. You can keep the default threshold
settings or change the settings.
NOTE:
By default, TCAs are disabled.
