ber-threshold-clear
Syntax
ber-threshold-clear value;
Hierarchy Level
[edit interfaces interface-name otn-options signal-degrade] [edit interfaces interface-name otn-options odu-signal-degrade]
Description
Specify bit error rate (BER) threshold to clear the interface alarm for signal degradation.
You can configure the BER clear threshold to customize the BER that will clear an interface alarm when signal degrade monitoring is enabled.
Configuring a high BER threshold for signal degradation and a long interval might cause the internal counter register to be saturated. Such a configuration is ignored by the router, and the default values are used instead. A system log message is logged for this error.
If you configure the BER thresholds at the [edit interfaces interface-name otn-options signal-degrade] hierarchy
level, then the thresholds are calculated using the pre-forward error
correction (pre-FEC) BER (the BER before FEC correction). These thresholds
are used for pre-FEC BER monitoring. See Understanding Pre-FEC BER Monitoring and BER Thresholds for more information about pre-FEC BER monitoring and determining
BER threshold settings.
If you configure the BER thresholds at the [edit interfaces interface-name otn-options odu-signal-degrade] hierarchy level, then the thresholds are calculated using
the post-FEC BER (the BER after FEC correction). This BER is referred
to as the optical channel data unit (ODU) BER.
You can configure ODU BER thresholds only at the [edit interfaces interface-name otn-options odu-signal-degrade] hierarchy level on the P2-100GE-OTN PIC.
Table 1 shows the default values for pre-FEC BER and ODU BER signal degrade threshold values for different PICs. If the BER signal degrade threshold is not configured, the default value is used.

To configure the threshold that raises the signal degrade alarm,
include the ber-threshold-signal-degrade statement at the same
hierarchy level. To configure the time interval during which the BER
must stay above or below the configured thresholds to raise or clear
the alarm, include the interval statement at the same
hierarchy level.
For the P1-PTX-2-100G-WDM PIC, the BER must stay above the signal degradation threshold for ten consecutive intervals for the alarm to be raised and the BER must stay below the clear threshold for ten consecutive intervals for the alarm to be cleared. For example, if the interval is configured as 10 ms, then the BER must stay above the signal degradation threshold for 100 ms (10 ms * 10 intervals) for the alarm to be raised, or below the clear threshold for 100 ms for the alarm to be cleared.
Options
Values:
value—BER threshold for clearing the signal degradation in scientific notation. Both the mantissa and exponent are configurable. Enter the value in the format xE-n, where x is the mantissa and n is the exponent. For example, 4.5E-3.
Range: The mantissa must be a decimal number. There is no limit on the number of digits before or after the decimal point.
The exponent must be an integer from 0 through 9.
Default: See Table 1 for the default values.
Always set the ber-threshold-clear value lower than the ber-threshold-signal-degrade value. For the FEC limits, see the table describing
the signal degrade and clear thresholds after configuration in Understanding Pre-FEC BER Monitoring and BER Thresholds.
In Junos OS Release 13.2R1, only the exponent is valid input for the BER threshold value, and the mantissa is not configurable. The BER threshold value is 1.0E–n where n > 0, and the valid range of n is from 1 through 10.
