IPDR Configuration(ipdr parameter keepalive)

ipdr parameter keepalive

Function

The ipdr parameter keepalive command is used to set keepalive intervals for Internet Protocol Detail Record (IPDR) protocol.
The undo ipdr parameter keepalive command is used to reset the keepalive interval to the default value 300s.

Format

ipdr parameter keepalive time
undo ipdr parameter keepalive

Parameters

Parameter Description Value
time Indicates the keepalive interval for the IPDR protocol. Numeral type. Range: 5-300.
Unit: second.
Default value: 300.
NOTE:
  • The shorter the keepalive interval is, the higher frequency at which the CMTS device detects whether the IPDR collector is faulty will be.
  • The shorter the keepalive interval is, more keepalive packets between the CMTS device and IPDR collector will be generated, which heavies the load on the IPDR collector.

Modes

Global config mode,MA5683T,MA5680T,MA5608T

Level

Administrator level

Usage Guidelines

The keepalive interval for the IPDR protocol can be modified only when all sessions are in the deactivated state.

Example

To set the keepalive interval for IPDR messages to 200s, do as follows:
huawei(config)#ipdr parameter keepalive
{ time<U><5,300> }:200

  Command:
          ipdr parameter keepalive 200
To reset the keepalive interval for IPDR messages to the default value, do as follows:
huawei(config)#undo ipdr parameter keepalive

IPDR Configuration---ipdr collector

Incorrect Client-Side Service Type Causes Failure of Interconnection With a Router

Incorrect client-side service type causes a failure of interconnection with a router.

Product

OptiX BWS 1600G, OSN 6800, OSN 8800

Fault Type

Equipment Interconnection
Client Equipment

Symptom

On a network, an ETMX board on the OptiX BWS 1600G is used to receive a 2.5 Gbit/s service from a router on the client side. Client-side channels run properly after an expansion is performed on the network.
When the ETMX board on the OptiX BWS 1600G receives the 2.5 Gbit/s service, interconnections with ports on the router are successful but exchanges of protocols fail. After an outloop is configured on the ETMX board at the local end by using the NMS to loopback the service to the router, port interconnections and protocol exchanges are successful. After an inloop is configured on the WDM-side optical port on the ETMX board at the remote end by using a fiber patch cord to loopback the service to the router, port interconnections are successful but protocol exchanges fail. This indicates that the fault lies on the WDM-side link or interconnected ports.

Cause Analysis

The analysis of the problem is as follows:
  1. An SDH analyzer is used to test the WDM-side channel after the expansion is performed. No exception is found.
  2. After the outloop on the ETMX board at the local end is performed, port interconnections and protocol exchanges are successful. This indicates that the router is running properly.
  3. After the inloop on the ETMX board at the remote end through a fiber patch cord is performed, protocol exchanges fail. This indicates that protocol configuration is incorrect after signals are transmitted from the router to the ETMX board.
The preceding information shows that the problem is due to incorrect configurations of the ETMX board.

Procedure

  1. Check the WDM-side configurations of the board. Service Type for services received from the client side of the ETMX board can beSDH, SONET, or ODU1.. By default, Service Type is set to SDH and J0 byte in the SDH interface overhead is set to Null.
  2. Check the interconnected ports and no alarm is generated. This indicates that the no error is generated in the J0 byte.
  3. Confirm that on the client side of the OptiX BWS 1600G, the service type interconnected with the router is OC48, which is different from the service type of the ETMX board. This is why the problem occurs.
  4. Change Service Type of the ETMX board to SONET. Then, protocol exchanges are successful and services are normal.

Result

The problem is resolved.

Inconsistency of Fiber Jumper Model and Fiber Connector Type of a Board

The receive optical power of a board is lower than the specified threshold because the fiber connector mismatches the port connector on the board, the connected OAU board at the downstream station reports MUT_LOS and R_LOS alarms.

Product

OptiX BWS 1600G, OSN 6800, OSN 8800

Fault Type

Optical Power Abnormality
Fiber
MUT_LOS
R_LOS

Symptom

At an OptiX BWS 1600G station, a fiber connector on the RPC board is damaged and the fiber jumper must be replaced. After the fiber jumper is replaced, the receive optical power on the WDM side is low (-53 dBm).
The connected OAU board at the downstream station reports MUT_LOS and R_LOS alarms.

Cause Analysis

After a detailed check, it is found that:
  1. The transmit optical power of the FIU board at the downstream station is within the permitted range.
  2. The receive optical power of the ODF connected to the local station is within the permitted range. That is, the line attenuation is within the permitted range.
  3. The receive optical power of the OAU at the local station is low.
  4. The receive optical power at the IN port on the FIU board at the local station is low.
  5. The fiber jumper between the IN port on the FIU board and the SYS port on the RPC board is normal.
The preceding information shows that the fault is located between the ODF and the FIU board. Possible causes of the problem are as follows:
  • The fiber jumper between the ODF and the RPC board is damaged.
  • The RPC board is malfunctioning.

Procedure

  1. Check the fiber jumper between the ODF and the RPC board. The fiber jumper uses an FC/PC connector at one end and an LHS/UPC connector at the other end, while the LINE port connector on the RPC is LSH/APC. The end faces of the FC/PC and LSH/UPC connectors of the fiber jumper is flat while the end face of the LSH/APC connector is tilted. Therefore, air exists between the LINE port on the RPC board and the fiber jumper connector. As a result, the transmit optical power of the pump laser on the RPC board is abnormal and the receive optical power on the WDM side is low. Change connectors of the fiber jumper on the RPC board so that the fiber jumper uses an FC/PC connector at one end and an LSH/APC connector at the other end. Then, the system operates properly.

Result

The problem is resolved.

The Spectrum Analyzer Cannot Scan a Wavelength of the LWC Board Due to the Drift of This Wavelength

The spectrum analyzer cannot scan a wavelength of the LWC board due to the drift of this wavelength.

Fault Type

Optical Transponder Unit

Symptom

After one LWC board that operates at 192.9 THz is added to the OptiX Metro 6100 equipment on a network for capacity expansion, the MON port on the WBA board detects neither the 192.9 THz wavelength nor one more wavelength.

Cause Analysis

The possible causes of the problem are as follows:
  • The LWC board is faulty.
  • The WBA board is faulty.

Procedure

  1. Query the optical power at the IN optical port on the WBA board. The query result shows that the optical power at the IN optical interface after the expansion is the same as that before the expansion. This indicates that the added wavelength does not reach the WBA board.
  2. Use an optical power meter to test the LWC board. The test result shows that the output frequency of the board is 193.09 Hz. The WDM-side wavelength drift of the LWC board is large. Therefore, the wavelength of the LWC board does not match that of the M40 board interconnected with the LWC board.
  3. Replace the faulty LWC board and then test the output frequency at the MON interface on the new LWC board. The test result shows that the output frequency is within the normal range.

Result

After the faulty LWC board, the problem is solved.

Reference Information

Wavelength drift on the OTU board will cause low output optical power on the M40 board. Therefore, ensure that center frequency of each output wavelength on the WDM side of the OTU board is within the range of ±10 GHz from its nominal center frequency.
