A public-safety DC requires alerting when optical power on spine uplinks degrades. Which monitoring approach best fits?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Fiber uplinks whisper trouble through optical power long before the whole link dies. Set DOM thresholds so the NOC hears the whisper—like a smoke detector, not a sticky-note count. Turning alarms off so nobody is 'interrupted' is how public-safety fabrics go dark quietly.
Full Explanation
Spine and leaf fiber uplinks commonly expose digital optical monitoring (DOM) statistics for receive and transmit power. Threshold-based alerting on those values gives early warning of degrading optics or fiber plant issues before hard failures. KVM LED brightness, sticky-note inventories, and silenced optics alarms do not provide that early fiber-health signal.
