Syntax

show chassis alarms

Description

Display information about the conditions that have been configured to trigger alarms.

It is not possible to clear the alarms for chassis components. This design is intentional; you must remedy the cause of the alarm. The alarm lights on the chassis are bright and are meant to be annoying. When they are lit, it indicates that you are running the router in a manner that we do not recommend.

You can manually silence external devices connected to the alarm relay contacts by pressing the alarm cutoff button, located on the craft interface. Silencing the device does not remove the alarm messages from the display (if present on the router) nor extinguish the alarm LEDs. In addition, new alarms that occur after silencing an external device reactivate the external device.
