23.5.6 Applying Alarm Profiles

In CTC node view, the Alarm Behavior window displays alarm profiles for the node. In card view, the
Alarm Behavior window displays the alarm profiles for the selected card. Alarm profiles form a
hierarchy. A node-level alarm profile applies to all cards in the node except cards that have their own
profiles. A card-level alarm profile applies to all ports on the card except ports that have their own
profiles.
At the node level, you can apply profile changes on a card-by-card basis or set a profile for the entire
node. At the card-level view, you can apply profile changes on a port-by-port basis or set alarm profiles
for all ports on that card.

23.6 Alarm Suppression
ONS 15454 nodes have an alarm suppression option that clears raised alarm messages for the node,
chassis, one or more slots (cards), or one or more ports. After they are cleared, these alarms change
appearance from their normal severity color to white and they can be cleared from the display by clicking
Synchronize. Alarm suppression itself raises an alarm called AS-CMD that is shown in applicable
Alarms windows. Node-level suppression is shown in the node view Alarms window, and card or
port-level suppression is shown in all views. The AS-CMD alarm itself is not cleared by the suppress
command. Each instance of this alarm indicates its object separately in the Object column.
A suppression command applied at a higher level does not supersede a command applied at a lower level.
For example, applying a node-level alarm suppression command makes all raised alarms for the node
appear to be cleared, but it does not cancel out card-level or port-level suppression. Each of these
conditions can exist independently and must be cleared independently.
