Viewing BGP Neighbor Service Alarm with VRF Name 
BGP neighbor loss VRF due to oper and BGP neighbor found service alarms are raised on the BGP links 
for any mis-configurations that shuts down physical interfaces or any other scenario that might break the 
BGP neighborship. If a BGP neighbor service alarm is configured with the VRF, the VRF name is 
displayed as part of the Location links for a BGP neighbor loss VRF due to oper and BGP neighbor 
found service alarms. For example, Figure 17-20 shows the BGP neighbor service alarms displayed with 
the VRF Name.

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.

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.

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:
