Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatuses, among other things, may integrate one or more first alarms reported by routers and Ethernet switches with one or more second alarms reported by reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers (ROADMs) and optical transport network (OTN) network elements. Moreover, one or more troubleshooting actions may be performed based on the integrated first alarms and second alarms.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- acquiring first alarm data from a Layer 2 network element or a Layer 3 network element at a first location;
- acquiring second alarm data from a Layer 1 network element in an optical transport network at the first location;
- integrating the first alarm data and the second alarm data to identify one or more troubleshooting actions;
- and
- performing the one or more troubleshooting actions based on the first alarm data and second alarm data.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to:
- acquire first alarm data from a Layer 2 network element or a Layer 3 network element at a first location;
- acquire second alarm data from a Layer 1 network element in an optical transport network at the first location;
- integrate the first alarm data and the second alarm data to identify one or more troubleshooting actions;
- and
- perform the one or more troubleshooting actions based on the first alarm data and second alarm data.
5 more elements
A computer program product comprising:
- a computer-readable storage medium;
- and
- instructions stored on the computer-readable storage medium that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
- acquire first alarm data from a Layer 2 network element or a Layer 3 network element at a first location;
- acquire second alarm data from a Layer 1 network element in an optical transport network at the first location;
- integrate the first alarm data and the second alarm data to identify one or more troubleshooting actions;
