Configuring Catalyst 2955 Switch Alarms
To disable sending the alarm to a relay, to syslog, or to an SNMP server, use the no alarm facility
power-supply relay, no alarm facility power-supply notifies, or no alarm facility power-supply
syslog global configuration commands.
Note Before you can use the notifies command to send alarm traps to an SNMP server, you must first set up
the SNMP server by using the snmp-server enable traps alarms global configuration command. See
the “Enabling SNMP Traps” section on page 3-11.
This example sets the power-supply monitoring alarm to the minor relay.
Switch(config) # alarm facility power-supply relay minor
Configuring the Switch Temperature Alarms
The temperature thresholds for the primary temperature alarm cannot be changed, but you can change
the association of the primary temperature alarm from the major relay to the minor relay. You can also
set a lower maximum temperature threshold for the secondary temperature alarm and associate the alarm
with either the major or minor relay.
This section describes how to configure the temperature alarms on your switch. It contains this
configuration information:
• Setting a Secondary Temperature Threshold for the Switch, page 3-6
• Associating the Temperature Alarms to a Relay, page 3-7

Setting a Secondary Temperature Threshold for the Switch

In global configuration mode, you can use the alarm facility temperature secondary command to set
a lower temperature threshold for the secondary temperature monitoring alarm. You can also use the
alarm facility temperature secondary command to associate the secondary temperature alarm to either
the major or minor alarm relay.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to set a lower temperature threshold:
Use the no alarm facility temperature secondary threshold global configuration command to disable
the secondary temperature threshold alarm.
This example disables the secondary temperature alarm.
Switch(config) # no alarm facility temperature secondary 45
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2 alarm facility temperature
secondary threshold
Set the secondary temperature threshold value. Enter values from 40 to 95 to
set threshold from 40oC to 95oC.
Step 3 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4 show alarm settings Verify the configuration.
Step 5 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
