3074.0. "alarm : circuit up/down event" by HKGACT::SUSANCHAN () Mon May 25 1992 22:04

I have set up two alarm for a remote node (hgsw03) on CIRCUIT DOWN CIRCUIT FAULT
and CIRCUIT UP.  But I cannot always detect the events. 

I tried GETEVENT NODE4 HGSW03 CIRCUIT SVA-0 CIRCUIT down circuit fault
or GETEVENT NODE4 HGSW03 CIRCUIT SVA-0 CIRCUIT UP, but no response.
Are my rule expression incorrect?  Also is there a better way to detect 
Circuit UP and DOWN?  

Following are the rules expression.

3074.1cannot detect circuit down until is up!!!HKGACT::SUSANCHANTue May 26 1992 07:1330
It seems that circuit down circuit fault event cannot be sink out when 
NCP> set cir sva-0 state off.

Please see the OPCOM message below which is extracted from the operator.log 
on the DECmcc system.

??? Is there a better way to detect circuit down ???

Thanks,
Susan

Whenever I am 'testing' for events I shut off the *LINE* but leave the CIRCUIT
up. This creates the circuit down circuit fault event at least for sync 
circuits (never tried it for ethernet)

NCP> set line sva-0 state off

3074.3see if this helps!!!KITFOX::BALLTue May 26 1992 13:3735
    ( 1 ) the rules seem correct...
    ( 2 ) i usually alarm off of circuit down event 4.8 and circuit up event 4.10...
    
    ( 3 ) you said you don't receive either event...
          is your filter set up up correctly to receive these events???
          MCC> show node4 hgsw03 outbound stream stream_for_events remote sink -
               monitor all cha
          we are looking specifically for events 4.8 Circuit down and
          4.10 Circuit up
    ( 4 ) is the sink up and running???
    ( 5 ) is their a mcc_dna4_evl process on your system???
          $ show system
    ( 6 ) if all of this is true start out with simple testing
          MCC> getevent node4 hgsw03 circuit sva-0 circuit up
          ---> other window <---
          MCC> disable node4 hgsw03 circuit sva-0 ! turn the circuit state off
          MCC> enable node4 hgsw03 circuit sva-0  ! turn the circuit state on

          MCC> disable node4 hgsw03 circuit sva-0 ! turn the circuit state off
          MCC> enable node4 hgsw03 circuit sva-0  ! turn the circuit state on
    ( 7 ) if this works now try your alarms again...
    ( 8 ) if it does not work contact me and we'll get you going...

3074.4How to detect circuit down by event?!HKGACT::SUSANCHANWed May 27 1992 01:3652
First of all, the environment for trapping DECnet event is setup correctly. 
I tested it be the ZERO COUNTER DECnet event, and I got what I expected.
I want to verify that CIRCUIT DOWN CIRCUIT FAULT 4.7 is the DECnet event I 
should detect when NCP> SET CIR SVA-0 STATE OFF.


Second,

   MCC> disable node4 hgsw03 circuit sva-0 ! turn the circuit state off
   MCC> enable node4 hgsw03 circuit sva-0  ! turn the circuit state on
 
the second command cannot be performed since the circuit is off no connection
can be made.


Third,

   MCC> getevent node4 hgsw03 circuit sva-0 circuit up
   MCC> enable node4 hgsw03 circuit sva-0  ! turn the circuit state on
        
   MCC> getevent node4 hgsw03 circuit sva-0 circuit down
   MCC> disable node4 hgsw03 circuit sva-0 ! turn the circuit state off

give no response/output.


Fourth, I believe I have verify that the when I do

   NCP> SET CIR SVA-0 STATE OFF

only the console will be able to receive the message but not the sink nodes.
Also if the cir state off for a period of time the CIRCUIT DOWN CIRCUIT FAULT
opcom message is lost.  Only the CIRCUIT UP opcom message will be received
when I do 

   NCP> SET CIR SVA-0 STATE ON


QUESTION:

   Any suggestion on detecting circuit down using event?
