7.1.9 SNMP Alarm
The switch provides an alarm notification function. The alarm will be sent to a SNMP trap
host whenever a specific event in the system occurs through CLI. You can also set the
alarm severity on each alarm and make the alarm be shown only in case of selected se-
verity or higher. This enhanced alarm notification allows system administrators to manage
the system efficiently.
7.1.9.1 Alarm Notify Activity
Normally the switch is supposed to generate an alarm only when a pre-defined event has
occurred such as the fan fail, system restart, temperature high, etc. However, you can
additionally configure the system to generate an alarm when any configuration parameter
has been changed via CLI.
To enable/disable the alarm notify activity, use the following command.
Command Mode Description
snmp notify-activity { enable |
disable }
Global
Enables/disables the alarm notify activity.
(default: disable)
If you manage the system via the ACI-E, the alarm notify activity should be enabled.
7.1.9.2 Alarm Severity Criterion
You can set an alarm severity criterion to make an alarm be shown only in case of se-
lected severity or higher. For example, if an alarm severity criterion has been set to
major ,
you will see only an alarm whose severity is major or critical .
To set an alarm severity criterion, use the following command.
Command Mode Description
snmp alarm-severity criteria
{ critical | major | minor | warning
| intermediate }
Global
Sets an alarm severity criterion.
(default: warning)
The order of alarm severity is critical > major > minor > warning > intermediate .
The configured alarm severity criterion is valid only in ACI-E.
