introduction nile infrastructure alerts raise awareness about the issues experienced by nile owned services such as nile service block (nsb), nile guest service, and nile dhcp service below is the list of alerts raised in the nile portal for nile infrastructure, along with recommended actions device unavailable this alert is generated when a nile service element, such as switches, access points, or sensors go offline the user can view the details on offline network elements by clicking the alert and visiting the "nile device inventory" page example alert nile service element switch as1 serial number e00a00064619 has lost power at bangalore/bldg 1/ floor 1 for 1 day 6 hours 6 minutes recommended customer action • ensure that the device is powered on and ready • check for unplugged or damaged cables link down this alert is generated when a link connecting the nile service element with another nile service element or upstream devices is down example alert link between nile switch ns nlhq 1 serial number e00a00065658 port 29 and as nlhq 3 serial number e00a00064571 port 0/53 has been down at bangalore/bldg 1/ floor 1 for 3 weeks 5 hours 58 minutes recommended customer action • check for unplugged or damaged cables • check for incorrectly connected cables (router port configuration) poe not granted this alert is generated when a poe request from a wired

for 10 hours recommended customer action • redistribute the poe devices across the switches • contact nile cse/csm for further assistance floorwide poe budget limit this alert is generated when the aggregated poe across all nile switches on a floor is close to the limit, and less than 30w of aggregated power is available example alert power over ethernet budget low ( < 30w) on the switches \<du ds 2 serial number e99z99999111>, \<du ds 3 serial number e99z999991211> at bangalore/bldg 1/floor 1 for 3 hours 42 minutes recommended customer action • contact nile cse/csm for assistance temperature is high this alert is generated when the nile service element is operating at a higher than recommended temperature example alert nile service element as1 serial number e99z999991211 is operating at high temperature at bangalore/bldg 1/floor 1 for 9 hours recommended customer action • inspect the area for sufficient ventilation • check for free air circulation • verify that room cooling is operating correctly • contact nile cse/csm for assistance power supply down this alert is generated when one of the power supplies in the nile access switches, distribution switches, and head end equipment is down example alert power supply unit 1 on device as1 serial number e99z999991211 seems to have lost power at bangalore/bldg 1/floor 1 for 3 days recommended customer action • inspect the connections to power • if there are no issues with the power supply, please work with nile csm on the rma process nile cloud dhcp pool space is low this alert is generated when the nile

alert is generated when nile services cloud experiences momentary processing issues example alert nile cloud service is experiencing momentary processing issues for 6 hours network connectivity is not impacted data shown in the nile portal may not be the latest all historical data will be updated when the processing issues are resolved no action is required recommended customer action • no action is required device location change this alert is generated when nile sensors are displaced from the original installed location example alert nile sensor element se bldf 3 serial number e99z99999111

• no action required renegotiation to lower speed nile service block links this alert is generated when a network link is operating at a lower speed than its provisioned capacity the alert covers both intra nsb links (access point to switch, switch to switch) and nsb to internet links (ds isp) these conditions are typically caused by devices renegotiating to a lower speed, often due to a faulty cable example alerts access point to switch link link between nile access point ap 1000 and nile switch e00a00064619 port 11 is operating at a lower than the provisioned capacity at bangalore/bldg 1/floor 1 for 40 minutes switch to switch link link between nile switch e00a00064610 port 12 and nile switch e00a00064619 port 11 is operating at a lower than the provisioned capacity at bangalore/bldg 1/floor 1 for 40 minutes nsb to internet link link between nile switch e00a00064610 port 12 and isp router port 11 is operating at a lower than the provisioned capacity at bangalore/bldg 1/floor 1 for 40 minutes recommended customer action check the cable connecting the corresponding network elements flapping links this alert is generated when a network link flaps continuously the alert covers both intra nsb links (access point to switch, switch to switch) and nsb to internet links (ds isp) these conditions are typically caused by a faulty cable example alerts access point to switch link link between port 11 of nile switch e00a00064619 and nile access point ap 1000 and is flapping freuently at bangalore/bldg 1/floor 1 for 40 minutes switch to switch link link between port 12 of nile switch e00a00064610 and port 11 of nile switch e00a00064619 is flapping frequently at bangalore/bldg 1/floor 1 for 40 minutes switch to headend link link between port 12 of nile switch e00a00064610 and port 11 of headend he00a00064619 is flapping frequently at bangalore/bldg 1/floor 1 for 40 minutes switch to internet link link between port 12 of nile switch e00a00064610 and port 11 of isp router is flapping frequently at bangalore/bldg 1/floor 1 for 40 minutes recommended customer action switch to switch or switch to headend or switch to isp router link check for sharp bends along the fiber length reseat the sfp clean the fiber heads and reinsert the fiber into the sfp switch to access point link verify the cabling check patch panels and consider replacing the cabling incompatible sfp ds to isp link this alert is generated when an incompatible sfp is detected on the link between nile service block's distribution switch (ds) and the internet service provider (isp) router example alerts sfp on the link connected to port port 11 of nile switch e00a00064610 at bangalore/bldg 1/floor 1 is not compatible with nile recommendations recommended
