Network Management and Automation

Enhancements in the Fault Management System

The following enhancements are introduced in Fault Management System (FMS):

• If FMS reboots, the active alarms in the Interface, PSU, FAN, and Neighborship alarms of ISIS, BGP, and LDP are preserved, and all other active alarms from the previous session are closed.
• The description for the following alarm has been updated:

ISIS_OPR_INTF: Indicates maximum number of circuit IDs exhaustion.

• The alarm message for the alarm ISIS_OPR_ADJ_STATE has been updated to include Level information.

For more details, refer to the Fault Management System Configuration section in the OcNOS System Management Guide, Release 7.0.1.

OpenConfig Translation Database Management

OcNOS enhances the OpenConfig translation framework to properly manage the auxiliary translation database during configuration copy operations. Previously, the translation database could retain stale entries after operations like copy empty-config running-config or when deleting configurations via CLI. With this enhancement, the translation database now mirrors the behavior of the main database during copy commands. Additionally, users can now easily clear the OpenConfig cache by disabling and re-enabling translation using the no netconf translation command, which empties the auxiliary database files.

For more details, refer to the netconf translation openconfig section in the OcNOS System Management Guide, Release 7.0.1.

Integrating Syslog with SNMP Monitoring

To enhance network visibility and consolidate monitoring workflows, OcNOS introduces support for sending Syslog messages as SNMP trap notifications, as defined by RFC 5676. This feature allows an SNMP-based network management system (NMS) to ingest syslog events natively. By bridging these two protocols, operators can leverage their current SNMP infrastructure to monitor system logs, removing the requirement for a standalone syslog server.

For more details, refer to the snmp-server enable traps syslog section in the OcNOS System Management Guide, Release 7.0.1.

Two Step PTP Sync Packets

A new command twostep-ptp-fifo-timestamp has been introduced to enable FIFO-based mechanism for storing and retrieving timestamps, ensuring efficient management of PTP timing information at the global level. The sync packet will carry a CorrectionField value of 0.

For more details, refer to the twostep-ptp-fifo-timestamp command section in the OcNOS Timing and Synchronization Guide, Release 7.0.1.
