Fault management efficiently manages and reports alarms and events generated on a device in a centralized manner.
The network expands and becomes more complex. When a module on a device is faulty, a great number of alarms may be generated on one or more devices. The alarms, however, may be lost due to limited capability of handling alarms on the devices or the NMS. As a result, certain needed alarms cannot be displayed, which inconveniences network management.
To collect valid fault information on the NMS in an efficient way, configure the fault management function to efficiently manage and report alarms in a centralized manner.
