1.3.1 Management Software-Generated Alarms
The Cisco 6260 includes CO alarm LED indicators and relays that indicate system status. You can wire
CO facility alarm relay contacts for either normally open or normally closed operations. The supported
alarms that are generated by the management software are:
•

OL-2365-02
Cisco IOS—A command-line interface (CLI) that is available for network
–
element provisioning.
Cisco DSL Manager (CDM)—An element management system designed to configure and
–
manage the 6xxx series of Cisco IOS software-based DSLAMs through a graphical-user
interface (GUI). CDM provides the following areas of network management: fault,
configuration, performance, and security. CDM runs within the Cisco Element Manager
Framework (EMF); both are installed on Sun workstations.
Cisco EMF is based on an object model in which network elements or modules represent the
managed entity. Each object is defined by a class and specific attributes. An object can represent
a network element or a more abstract entity such as a link relationship, a network, or a container
such as a site, shelf, or region.
If your network contains multiple SUN workstations, you must dedicate one workstation as the
server and use all additional workstations as clients. The server should be the repository and
distributor of database information from which the clients request information. The client
workstations allow multiple users to monitor the managed network.
CRITICAL—A critical condition is indicated when the CRITICAL LED in the NI-2 card faceplate
lights.
–
When a critical alarm occurs, the critical visual and audible alarm relays are activated.
–
A critical alarm affects many or all subscribers that are connected to the node. (For example,
failure of the NI-2 card or the network trunk connection can cause a critical alarm.)
–
Critical alarms clear after you fix the condition that triggered the alarm.
–
Audible alarms are turned off when you press the ACO button on the NI-2 card faceplate or clear
the alarm in the Cisco IOS software.
MAJOR—A major alarm condition is indicated when the MAJOR LED in the NI-2 card faceplate
lights.
When a major alarm occurs, the major visual and audible alarm relays are also activated.
–
Many of the subscribers that are connected to the node are affected.
–
