Chapter 3 Configuring Switch Alarms
How to Configure Switch Alarms
Associating the Temperature Alarms to a Relay
By default, the primary temperature alarm is associated to the relay. You can use the alarm facility
temperature global configuration command to associate the primary temperature alarm to an SNMP trap, or
a syslog message, or to associate the secondary temperature alarm to the relay, an SNMP trap, or a syslog
message.
Note The single relay on the switch is called the major relay.
Configuring the FCS Bit Error Rate Alarm

Setting the FCS Error Threshold

The switch generates an FCS bit error-rate alarm when the actual rate is close to the configured rate.
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2 alarm facility temperature
{primary | secondary} relay major
Associates the primary or secondary temperature alarm to the relay.
Step 3 alarm facility temperature
{primary | secondary} notifies
Sends primary or secondary temperature alarm traps to an SNMP server.
Step 4 alarm facility temperature
{primary | secondary} syslog
Sends primary or secondary temperature alarm traps to a syslog server.
Uses the no alarm facility temperature secondary command to disable the
secondary temperature alarm.
Step 5 end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6 show alarm settings Verifies the configuration.
Step 7 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2 interface interface-id Enters the interface to be configured, and enters interface configuration
mode.
Step 3 fcs-threshold value Sets the FCS error rate.
For value, the range is 6 to 11 to set a maximum bit error rate of 10-6 to 10-11.
By default, the FCS bit error rate is 10-8.
Step 4 end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5 show fcs-threshold Verifies the setting.
Step 6 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.
