Methodology The alarm analysis is based on alarm history taken from 24th to 28th of March.

The analysis is done per RNC sorting out the count of BFD alarms in descending order.

For internal use only 1 Nokia Siemens Networks

Introduction
Fault reason Remote node transmission error. (i.e. RNC=Local WBTS=Remote) Description The alarm is raised if the BFD service is not available anymore on the BTS. In case only 1 BFD session is configured and activated, the alarm is raised if BFD on this session fails in either ingress or egress direction Instructions 1. Check if the far end has BFD switched on. 2. Check cabling and network connections to the far end.
