Alarms

 

 

The E1200i generates major and minor alarms for the following conditions:

fan trays 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 would render the E1200i non-functional.

A minor alarm is any fault that threatens the operation of the E1200i.

You can monitor alarm conditions on the E1200i system through the console, you configure the SNMP command (snmp-server enable traps envmon SNMP trap.

In the E1200i 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.
