Chapter 3 Configuring Cisco IE 3000 Switch Alarms
Understanding IE 3000 Switch Alarms
Alarm profiles provide a mechanism for you to enable or disable alarm conditions for a port and
associate the alarm conditions with one or both alarm relays. You can also use alarm profiles to set alarm
conditions to send alarm traps to an SNMP server and system messages to a syslog server. The alarm
profile
defaultPort
is applied to all interfaces in the factory configuration (by default).
Note
You can associate multiple alarms to one relay or one alarm to both relays.
Table 3-2
lists the port status monitoring alarms and their descriptions and functions. Each fault
condition is assigned a severity level based on the Cisco IOS System Error Message Severity Level.
Triggering Alarm Options
The switch supports these methods for triggering alarms:
•
Configurable Relays
The switch is equipped with two independent alarm relays that can be triggered by alarms for global
and port status conditions. You can configure the relays to send a fault signal to an external alarm
device, such as a bell, light, or other signaling device. You can associate any alarm condition with
either alarm relay or both relays. Each fault condition is assigned a severity level based on the Cisco
IOS System Error Message Severity Level.
See the
“Configuring IE 3000 Switch Alarms” section on page 3-4
for more information on
configuring the relays.

IE 3000 Port Status Monitoring Alarms
Alarm
Description
Link Fault alarm
The switch generates a link fault alarm when problems with a port physical layer cause
unreliable data transmission. A typical link fault condition is loss of signal or clock. The link
fault alarm is cleared automatically when the link fault condition is cleared. The severity for
this alarm is
error condition
, level 3.
Port not Forwarding alarm
The switch generates a port not-forwarding alarm when a port is not forwarding packets. This
alarm is cleared automatically when the port begins to forward packets. The severity for this
alarm is
warning
, level 4.
Port not Operating alarm
The switch generates a port not-operating alarm when a port fails during the startup self-test.
When triggered, the port not-operating alarm is only cleared when the switch is restarted and
the port is operational. The severity for this alarm is
error condition
, level 3.
FCS Bit Error Rate alarm
The switch generates an FCS bit error-rate alarm when the actual FCS bit error-rate is close to
the configured rate. You can set the FCS bit error-rate by using the interface configuration CLI
for each of the ports. See the
“Configuring the FCS Bit Error Rate Alarm” section on page 3-8
for more information. The severity for this alarm is
error condition
, level 3.
