Viewing Multishelf Alarmed Entities
The multishelf view in CTC shows which slots are occupied in each shelf of the configuration as shown in the following figure.
Figure 3: Navigating to Shelf View from Multishelf View
You can determine where an alarm is raised by viewing the Object column. The entry there (for example, FAC-1-3-1) tells you the
entity (“fac,” or facility), shelf, slot, and port. In shelf view, the Alarms and Conditions tabs also contain a Shelf column that indicates
where the alarmed card is located.

Multishelf-Specific Alarming
The following sections explain how Ethernet communication alarms and correlated multishelf alarms are processed in the ONS 15454
DWDM system.
DWDM system.
Ethernet Communication Alarms
The Ethernet interface card (MS-ISC) that is required for multishelf configurations does not raise traditional Ethernet alarms, such
as CARLOSS, that apply to transponder (TXP) or muxponder (MXP) client ports. Instead, MS-ISC card alarms are raised on the
shelf as EQPT alarms. These alarms include Duplicate Shelf ID (DUP-SHELF-ID) and Shelf Communication Failure
(SHELF-COMM-FAIL).
