17-50 Cisco Prime Network 4.3.2 User Guide Chapter 17 Managing MPLS Networks Monitoring MPLS Services Viewing BFD Session Properties Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is used to detect communication failures between two elements, or endpoints, that are connected by a link, such as a virtual circuit, tunnel, or LSP. BFD establishes sessions between the two endpoints over the link. If more than one link exists, BFD establishes a session for each link. Prime Network supports BFD with the following protocols: BGP, IPv4 (static), IPv6 (static), IS-IS, LAG (Ether channel), MPLS TE, MPLS-TP, and OSPF. To view BFD session properties that are configured on an element: Step 1In the Vision client, double-click the required device. Step 2In the Inventory window, choose Logical Inventory > Bidirectional Forwarding Detection. The properties for BFD sessions are displayed as shown in Figure 17-23. Table 17-23 6rd Tunnel Properties in Logical Inventory Field Description Tunnel Name 6rd tunnel name. IPv6 Prefix IPv6 prefix used to translate the IPv4 address to an IPv6 address. Source Address Tunnel IPv4 source IP address. Tunnel SubMode Tunnel type: 6rd—Static IPv6 interface. 6to4—IPv6 address with the prefix embedding the tunnel source IPv4 address. Auto-tunnel—IPv4-compatible IPv6 tunnel. ISATAP—Overlay tunnel using an Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) address. Prefix Length IPv4 prefix length used to derive the delegated IPv6 prefix. Suffix Length IPv4 suffix length used to derive the delegated IPv6 prefix. MTU Maximum transmission unit (MTU) configured on the 6rd IPv4 tunnel.

17-53 Cisco Prime Network 4.3.2 User Guide Chapter 17 Managing MPLS Networks Monitoring MPLS Services BFD Templates Support BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection Templates) are the new features added in CPT devices. Prime Network uses the below Telnet or CLI Command to get the BFD templates in existing CPT devices. Show running-config|section bfd-template Cerent Trap Support Cerent traps are alarms supported for CPT devices. There are 170 traps supported .There are various kinds of traps supported which are listed below: Communications Equipment Environmental Integrity Violation Quality of Service The alarms can be categorized by their severity such as Critical, Major, Minor, Not Reported and Not Alarmed. Examples of each severity categories are as follows: Critical- Equipment failure Major- High Voltage, Battery Failure Minor- Loss of frame, Loss of signal Not Reported- Unqualified PPM Inserted Not Alarmed- Transit Node Clock Traceable Change Settings in Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) Any configurations settings made in CPT should be done through CTC. To receive traps in a particular server, that server IP needs to be entered in the device through CTC. Most of the traps are on device dependencies. CMP Tool The default trap format can be used to send the alarms through CMP tool which can be generated in Prime Network. The default trap format is given as follows: sendtrap -V2 10.105.39.217 -ccellbus -r162 -o1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 -mt1166470595 -o1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.4.1.0 -md1.3.6.1.4.1.3607.6.10.30.0.1670 -o1.3.6.1.4.1.3607.6.10.100.10.20 -mo03/Nov/2001 -o1.3.6.1.4.1.3607.6.10.20.30.20.1.80.1.1670 -mi50 -o1.3.6.1.4.1.3607.6.10.20.30.20.1.20.1.1670 -mi50 -o1.3.6.1.4.1.3607.6.10.20.30.20.1.60.1.1670 -mi1 -o1.3.6.1.4.1.3607.6.10.20.30.20.1.30.1.1670 -mi0 -o1.3.6.1.4.1.3607.6.10.20.30.20.1.40.1.1670 -mi1 -o1.3.6.1.4.1.3607.6.10.20.30.20.1.50.1.1670 -mi0 -o1.3.6.1.4.1.3607.6.10.20.30.20.1.100.1.1670 -md1.3.6.1.4.1.3607.6.10.30.0.2110 -o1.3.6.1.4.1.3607.6.10.20.30.20.1.120.1.1670 -mi30 -o1.3.6.1.4.1.3607.6.10.20.30.20.1.130.1.1670 -mi10 -o1.3.6.1.4.1.3607.6.10.20.30.20.1.140.1.1670 -mi10 -o1.3.6.1.6.3.18.1.3.0 -ma10.104.120.46
