Troubleshooting PSM Problems
This chapter describes how to troubleshoot PSM problems. This chapter contains the following sections:
• Overview
• Initial Troubleshooting Checklist
• Troubleshooting PSM Interface Problems
4.1 Overview
The PSM (protection switch module) provides trunk fiber protection for Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx systems configured in point-to-point topologies. The PSM sends the signal from a mux/demux module or a transponder module to both the west and east directions. It receives both the west and east signals and selects one to send to the mux/demux module or the transponder module. When a trunk fiber cut occurs on the active path, the PSM switches the received signal to the standby path. The PSM can protect up to 32 data channels and the OSC.
The PSM also has an optical monitor port for testing the west and east receive signals. This port samples one percent of the receive signals that can be monitored with an optical power meter.
4.2 Initial Troubleshooting Checklist
Follow this initial checklist before proceeding with the troubleshooting procedures:
•Check that the LEDs on the cards show the proper state.
•Verify patch configuration.
•Ensure that all optical connectors are clean. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx Cleaning Procedures for Fiber Optic Connections document.
4.3 Troubleshooting PSM Interface Problems
This section contains troubleshooting procedures for PSM interface problems.
4.3.1 Wdmsplit Interface Down
Symptom The wdmsplit interface is down.
Table 4-1 describes the potential causes of the symptom and the solutions.
4.3.2 Wdmsplit Interface Power Level Indicates Loss of Light
Symptom The wdmsplit interface is down and shows Loss of Light.
Table 4-2 describes the potential causes of the symptom and the solutions.
4.3.3 Wdmsplit Interface Receives Light But End Wave Interface Shows Loss of Light
Symptom The wdmsplit interface receives light but the end wave interface shows Loss of Light.
Table 4-3 describes the potential causes of the symptom and the solutions.
4.3.4 Wdm Interface Loses Topology Neighbor Learning Via CDP
Symptom The wdm interface loses topology neighbor learning through CDP after the patch between the wdmrelay and wdm interfaces is configured.
Table 4-4 describes the potential cause of the symptom and the solution.
4.3.5 Automatic CDP Learning Is Not Enabled on Wdmsplit Interface
Symptom Automatic CDP learning is not enabled on the wdmsplit interfaces after a patch between the wdmrelay and wdm interfaces is configured.
Table 4-5 describes the potential cause of the symptom and the solution.
