AINS States
AINS States
The following table lists the AINS states.
State
None
Pending
Running
If there are any service-affecting alarms when AINS is runring on ethernet or optics controllers, the AINS
state moves to Pending state. When the alarms are cleared, the AINS state moves to Running state.
The AINS soak time period restarts when there are line card reloads, XR reloads, line card warm reloads,
power cycles, or alarm conditioning.
Soak Time Period
You can configure the soak time period to be between 1 minute to 48 hours.
All alarms are suppressed during the AINS state. When the optical and ethernet alarms are raised on the port
during the soak time period, the AINS state moves to Pending. These alarms are not displayed in the output
of the show alarms brief card location 0/RP0/CPU0 active command but in the output of the show alarms
brief card location 0/RP0/CPU0 conditions command. When all the alarms clear, the soak time period starts,
and the AINS state moves to Running. When the soak time period expires, the port moves to IS state.
Configuring AINS
To configure AINS on a muxponder, use the following command:
configure
hw-module location location mxponder client-port-ains-soak hours hours minutes minutes
commit
The following is a sample in which all client ports are configured with AINS with soak time period specified
to be 15 minutes.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#hw-module location 0/3 mxponder client-port-ains-soak hours 0
minutes 15
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#commit
To configure AINS on a muxponder slice, use the following command:
configure

Description
AINS is not enabled on the controller or the soak time period is complete.
AINS is configured on the controller. However, the soak time period has
not started because either the primary state of controller is in Shutdown,
Admin down, or Not ready state or the secondary state is in Maintenance
state. AINS can also move to Pending state if alarms are raised during the
soak time period.
AINS is enabled on the controller. The primary state of the controller is
Up and the secondary state is AINS.
