Cisco Catalyst Switch Manager Alarms
Object State Alarms
Most Cisco Catalyst Switch Manager objects have state alarms associated with them. These state alarms
can be used to determine what tasks are being executed for the corresponding object or the status of
network connectivity to the corresponding object from the Cisco EMF server. There will only be one
state alarm for each object at any time (corresponding to the current state of the object).
The following Cisco Catalyst Switch Manager objects have state alarms associated with them:
•
Network Element
•
Chassis
•
Power Supplies
•
All Modules
•
Port Adapters
•
Interfaces
•
