Managing and Troubleshooting the Versalar Switch Router 15000

To meet these requirements, the Versalar 15000 maintains numerous 
accounting statistics for each service class within an access interface for both 
inbound and outbound traffic. You can retrieve the statistics through file 
transfer or through the Simplified Network Management Protocol (SNMP). 
With its quality of service (QoS) classification and traffic management 
features, the Versalar 15000 provides complete and accurate accounting for all 
traffic in and out of the system. Thus, service providers can create 
usage-based billing records for each customer as well as monitor service level 
agreements (SLAs). For more information, see Chapter 3, “Gathering Traffic 
Statistics for Customer Billing
.”
Performance Monitoring and Troubleshooting
The Versalar 15000 is designed for high-availability network operation. It 
provides fully redundant power and cooling. All power systems are hot 
swappable
 and can be replaced, if necessary.
Extensive monitoring capabilities, including the facilities data link (FDL), are 
available to allow you to monitor system performance data. Should any 
system problems arise, a number of troubleshooting tools are also included. 
These tools include loopback detection, Operations and Management (OAM), 
and bit error rate testing (BERT). Chapter 6, “Monitoring and 
Troubleshooting,
” provides more information about these monitoring and 
troubleshooting capabilities.
Fault Management
Once system problems have been identified, the Versalar 15000 provides 
detailed fault management capabilities to resolve them. Specifically, the 
Versalar 15000 supports N+1 redundancy on the channel access processor 
(CAP) cards. 
The CAP cards perform the channelization of the DS3/OC-3 traffic, while the 
Internet forwarding processor (IFP) and system services processor (SSP) 
cards provide additional redundancy features to ensure that the system 
remains operational in the event that one of the cards fails. For more 
information on all of these cards, see Chapter 7, “Fault Management.”
