15.13 Configuring the OLC state of equipment or services
Daily maintenance operations that are performed on NEs can cause a large number
of alarms to be raised in the 5620 SAM. You can configure the OLC state on an
object or service to specify whether the object is in maintenance or in-service mode
to filter alarms in the alarm window.
You can set the OLC state for the following objects and services:
Note — By default, ports are assigned a description based on the card
type when the Description parameter is not configured.
Note — Alarms are generated for objects and services regardless of
the Current OLC State parameter setting. The parameter setting is not
sent to the network objects or services.
• network elements
• power supply trays
• card slots
• daughter cards
• ports
• LAGs
• composite services
• services
• sites
• SAPs
Caution 1 — Changing the OLC state on an object also changes the
OLC state on all of its child objects. The OLC state of the parent
object will overwrite the OLC state of its children during shut
down/turn up operation.
Caution 2 — The operation may take several minutes to complete,
depending on the number of objects affected. Alarms that occur
before the object’s OLC state is propagated may indicate incorrect
OLC state.
Caution 3 — Not all OLC state changes will be logged in the Task
Manager during shut down/turn up operation.
