Configure Conditions That Trigger Alarms

For the different types of PICs, you can configure which conditions trigger alarms and whether they trigger a red or yellow alarm. Red alarm conditions light the RED ALARM LED on the router's craft interface and trigger an audible alarm if one is connected to the contacts on the craft interface. Yellow alarm conditions light the YELLOW ALARM LED on the router's craft interface and trigger an audible alarm if one is connected to the craft interface.


By default, any failure condition on the integrated-services interface (Adaptive Services PIC) triggers a red alarm.

To configure conditions that trigger alarms and that can occur on any interface of the specified type, include the alarm statement at the [edit chassis] hierarchy level: 

[edit chassis]

alarm {

    interface-type {

        alarm-name (red | yellow | ignore); 

    }

}

alarm-name is the name of an alarm. Table 20 lists the systemwide alarms and the alarms for each interface type.

Chassis Conditions That Trigger Alarms

Various conditions related to the chassis components trigger yellow and red alarms. You cannot configure these conditions. Table 21 through Table 26 lists the alarms that the chassis components can generate.
