Chassis Alarm Conditions

You can monitor alarms to troubleshoot hardware problems on a Services Router. Alarms alert you to conditions on the router chassis, or in the system software that might prevent the router from operating normally. You can monitor active alarms from the J-Web interface or the CLI.

Services Router alarms warn you about conditions that can prevent the router from operating normally. Chassis and system alarm conditions are preset. When the Routing Engine detects an alarm condition, it lights the ALARM LED on the front panel. When the condition is corrected, the light turns off.

To view a more detailed description of the alarm cause, issue the show chassis alarms CLI command:

user@host> show chassis alarms

Table 64 on page 211 describes alarms that can occur for a chassis component such as the Routing Engine or a Physical Interface Module (PIM).
