Chapter 3 MIB Specifications

CISCO-ENTITY-ALARM-MIB

•Physical entity—The component in the Cisco 7304 router that generates the alarm.

•Physical vendor type—The object specifies an identifier (typically an enterprise-specific OID) that uniquely identifies the vendor type of those physical entities that this alarm description applies to.

•Alarm severity—Each alarm type defined by a vendor type and employed by the system is assigned an associated severity:

–Critical—Indicates a severe, service-affecting condition has occurred and that immediate corrective action is imperative, regardless of the time of day or day of the week. For example, online insertion and removal of line cards or loss of signal failure when a physical port link is down.

–Major—Used for hardware or software conditions. Indicates a serious disruption of service or the malfunctioning or failure of important hardware. Requires immediate attention and response of a technician to restore or maintain system stability. The urgency is less than in critical situations because of a lesser effect on service or system performance. For example, a minor alarm is generated if a secondary NSE-100 or NPE-G100 card fails or it is removed.

–Minor—Used for troubles that do not have a serious effect on service to customers or for alarms in hardware that are not essential to the operation of the system.

–Info—Notification about a condition that could lead to an impending problem or notification of an event that improves operation.

The syntax values are: critical(1), major(2), minor(3), info(4)

•Alarm description text—Specifies a readable message describing the alarm.

•Alarm type—Identifies the type of alarm that is generated. An arbitrary integer value that uniquely identifies an event relative to a physical entity in the Cisco 7304 router. Values 0 through 255.

Table 3-7lists the alarm descriptions and severity levels for the Cisco 7304 router physical entities, line card slots, and processor cards.
