Hi, Quite some time ago, I had to enable the optical-monitor feature so that I could get dB readings from the optic interfaces on two RX-8s with 4XG cards.
It works really neatly! You configure it to send alerts every X minutes if the light reading is lower than a given threshhold. Unfortunately it sends low-power alerts for interfaces that have any media installed but are disabled. The messages look like this: Nov 7 13:58:05 switch switch, ALARM: 2/3 optic tx bias low alarm Nov 7 13:58:06 switch switch, ALARM: 2/3 optic tx power low alarm Nov 7 13:58:06 switch switch, ALARM: 2/3 optic rx power low alarm Nov 7 13:58:06 switch switch, WARNING: 2/3 optic tx bias low warning Nov 7 13:58:06 switch switch, WARNING: 2/3 optic tx power low warning ... they are being sent every minute, from two switches, about disabled interfaces. Most annoying. The problem is, I can't disable the alerts. The command is supposed to be "optical-monitor 0" in global config mode - but that doesn't seem to work. Neither does adjusting the value to a very high number, to reduce their frequency. Neither does "no optical-monitor". What am I missing? Has anyone come across this one? I'm sure that rebooting the switch will make it go away, but I'd prefer to solve it by understanding how this isn't a bug. (or, that it is a bug :-)) Nick! -- Nick Morrison <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ foundry-nsp mailing list [email protected] http://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/foundry-nsp
