Alarm severity assignment profile

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
An Alarm Severity Assignment Profile (ASAP) is a list of alarms with an associated
severity value for every alarm. ASAPs allow the user to control alarm reporting with
more flexibility, and to create multiple alarm profiles for each alarm category and to
assign these profiles to entities within the system. The supports flexible alarm reporting
through the Alarm Severity Assignment Profiles (ASAP).
All alarms are classified into a particular alarm category and are pre-defined. The
categories containing the alarms are referred to as pre-defined alarm profile types. Each
profile type has a default profile and a set of profiles created by users. These profiles
and the default profiles within the profile types are referred to as ASAPs. The assigned
alarm severity levels refer to each alarm within each ASAP. For each alarm in the
alarm profile, users can assign a severity value and reported state. The alarm severity
values and reported state constitute the Alarm Severity Assignment Profile. The default
profiles are available after system installation. When a failure occurs, the ASAPs
created by customers are used to specify the alarm severity level.
All the alarms are categorized into 15 different ASAP types. For example, equipment,
DCN, timing, and so on. The default ASAPs contain default settings for the severity
and reporting values and can be edited. In addition to the default ASAP, multiple
ASAPs can be created, edited, and deleted. For each alarm profile type, a default
ASAP is available and can be edited but cannot be deleted. Users can assign labels for
each ASAP. However, ASAP values created by customers can only be deleted when
they are not assgined to a port or termination point. The default ASAP values are
effective, whereas, every new ASAP profile created by customers must be assigned to
a functional system entity such as a specific port or termination point to be effective.
During provisioning, ASAPs can be assigned to functional system components such as
a circuit pack or a specific port. Each ASAP can be uniquely identified by its type and
name. Note that predefined or default alarms or profile types can be edited but the
profile name cannot be changed or deleted by the user. Only the profiles created by the
user can be changed or deleted.
The severity and reported values are enabled when the ASAP is assigned to a port or
termination point that can raise the alarms contained in the alarm profile type.
Individual ASAPs can also be assigned to a multiple set of functional system entities
according to their ASAP type.
The supports 64 ASAPs including the default profile. In addition to the default ASAPs,
customers can create up to 49 new ASAPs.
For more information on how to create, modify, delete, assign or retrieve ASAPs, refer
