B

Alarms

The E600i generates major and minor alarms for the following conditions:

fan tray status

power supply status

RPMs status

high temperature on RPMs

line cards status

high temperature on line cards

SFMs status

high temperature on SFMs.

A major alarm is any fault that may render the E600i non-functional.

A minor alarm is any fault that threatens the operation of the E600i.

You can monitor alarm conditions on the E600i system through the console, LEDs, and audible alarms. If you configure the SNMP command (snmp-server enable traps envmon), the FTOS also sends an SNMP trap.

In the E600i system, alarms are logged for each occurrence, but the system may not send an event log for multiple occurrences. For example, whenever a module exceeds the shutdown threshold, the module shuts down. If more than one module exceeds the warning or high temperature thresholds within a five minute period, the system generates one event for all effected modules, but alarms are logged for each occurrence. If the modules temperature falls to 5° lower than the warning threshold temperature, the system clears the alarm and an SNMP trap.
