MAS fault management
Every alarm is assigned one of the following severities:
•Critical
•Major
•Minor
•Warning
Optionally, you can configure alarms to be sent as SNMP traps when alarms are raised or cleared, which is described in SNMP management (page 36). A network management station can use SNMP to poll the platform to determine which alarms are active.
To view active alarms, use the Nortel MAS Console. The following table describes the information that you can view for each alarm.
Field | Description |
|
|
Alarm ID | A globally unique identifier assigned to the alarm. In addition a |
| colored icon represents the alarm severity. Red indicates Critical |
| and yellow represents all other alarms. |
Name | Descriptive text associated with the alarm. |
Severity | The severity of the alarm, which can be one of the following (listed |
| from most to least severe): Critical, Major, Minor, and Warning. |
Timestamp | Timestamp of when the alarm was raised. You can configure |
| timestamps to display as either local time or UTC time. UTC time |
| is useful for correlating alarms with events in other time zones. |
