Fault Management

This chapter describes how to view appropriate fault information on the Cisco 12000/10720 Routers you are managing. The Cisco 12000/10720 Routers can be configured to send SNMP traps when various conditions are detected. This may be a fault, the correction/resolution of a previous condition or a status update. Traps are translated into Cisco EMF alarms and raised against the appropriate Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager object. These alarms are cleared automatically (if the resolution can be clearly detected by Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager) or manually.

This chapter contains the following information:

Alarms are propagated up the object hierarchy, and are reflected up to the highest level. For example, say a major (orange) alarm occurs on an interface. If you do not have the chassis map open, and if the interface text is not apparent, how would you know an alarm had occurred at that level? The answer is:
