Service State

An autonomously generated state that gives the overall condition of the port. Service states appear in the format: Administrative State-Operational State, Status Attribute. Port service states include:

  • unlocked-enabled: The port is fully operational and performing as provisioned.

  • unlocked-disabled,automaticInService: The port is out-of-service, but traffic is carried. Alarm reporting is suppressed. The ONS node monitors the ports for an error-free signal. After an error-free signal is detected, the port stays in unlocked-disabled,automaticInService state for the duration of the soak period. After the soak period ends, the port service state changes to unlocked-enabled.

  • locked-enabled,disabled: The port is out-of-service and unable to carry traffic.

  • locked-enabled,maintenance: The port is out-of-service for maintenance. Alarm reporting is suppressed, but traffic is carried and loopbacks are allowed.

Additional secondary states that might appear include:

  • unassigned: The PPM is not provisioned in the database.

  • notInstalled: The PPM is not physically present.

  • mismatchOfEquipment: Improper equipment is installed.
