The page shows the administrative state and operational status of each Transport. The administrative state may be Enabled, Blocked, or Disabled. The operational status may be Up or Down.
Each MP server reports status only for Transports hosted by that MP server.
Colored cells may indicate the need for maintenance activity. When the active server's collection status is Unknown, cells with gray text indicate the last known information about the Transport.
The Maintenance menu options are helpful under alarm conditions as a starting point for gathering additional information. For example, the maintenance options record the timestamp when a Transport goes down. The timestamp can then be used to narrow the search in the event history log and measurements reports.
Errors, warnings, and the possible need for maintenance activity are shown in the GUI in colored cells so that the conditions are readily identifiable.
Once rudimentary information for troubleshooting has been obtained, the network operator can continue investigating under the Alarms & Events and Measurements options on the GUI.
The menu also enables you to perform maintenance-related tasks such as:
A user group must have permissions to view or execute any of the procedures on the menu. If a group does not have permissions for the Maintenance menu options for Transport Manager, this option will not appear in the GUI.
Transport maintenance is allowed from both the NOAM and the SOAM. When the configuration is allowed from the SOAM, configuration and maintenance from the NOAM is not allowed. All maintenance links are active whether the user is connected to the NOAM or the SOAM. Maintenance data can be written to the standby NOAM server.
