pos threshold 321
pos threshold
Use this command to set the Signal degrade BER (sd-BER) and Signal failure BER (sf-BER) alarm
Bit Error Rate (BER) threshold values. Note that you enable reporting of sd-ber and sf-ber defects
using the pos-report command.
When the signal degrade or signal failure bit error rate meets or exceeds the corresponding
threshold, an alarm is sent to the POS controller. To view the current BER threshold settings, as
well as the defects that have been reported, use the show controllers command.

sf-ber Sets the threshold for signal failure BER errors on this interface. Note
that sf-ber alarms are reported by default. The default
is 3 (10 -3).
