6.17.9 Viewing NTE8 Configuration Faults
When the NTE8 configuration is set up and running, faults can be generated on four components:
• NTE8 Card
• DS1/E1 port (such as LOS, LOF, Receiving AIS, etc.)
• PPP (Configuration Failure, Peer Disabled, etc.)
• MLPPP
Note: Refer to the iMAP User Guide for a complete description of these faults, and the iMAP Log Manual for a complete list of
alarms.
Trap Parsers and/or Filter are used to receive and process the iMAP PPP/MLPPP link traps into NMS Events/Alarms. (For an
overview of the Fault Management system, refer to Section 9.)
The traps are propagated as follows:
• DS1/E1 Port Alarms are generated from their corresponding Link down/up traps.
• PPP and MLPPP alarms are generated from their corresponding Link down/up traps. (Note PPPs of an MLPPP do not
produce Link traps.)
• The Bandwidth Degraded alarm is generated when an interface defect trap is received from the iMAP.
• DS1/E1, PPP and MLPPP Link down/up traps are propagated to any of their associated VLANIFs and LINKs (including
VLINK symbols on VLAN maps).
• MLPPP Bandwidth Degraded traps (when a PPP of an MLPPP goes down) are propagated to any of their associated
VLANIFs and LINKs (including VLINK symbols on VLAN maps).

6.18 Upstream Control Protocol (UCP) Display
UCP is a proprietary protocol that informs other devices in the network that it is the “upstream node” for a UFO VLAN.
Moreover, using UCP protocol messages, the non-upstream nodes for the UFO VLAN can dynamically determine their
upstream interfaces. UCP actions occur independently of the topology feature being used; therefore, UCP can be used by
itself as well as with EPSR.
Note: For a complete explanation of UCP and how it works with various topology features, refer to the iMAP Software User Manual.
The AlliedView NMS monitors for the UCP Node Type and Status Information. This includes:
