Alarm Severity

Alarms displayed on the View Alarms page can have the following two severity levels:

• Major (red)—Indicates a critical situation on the routing platform that has resulted from one of the following conditions. A red alarm condition requires immediate action.
  • One or more hardware components have failed.
  • One or more hardware components have exceeded temperature thresholds.
  • An alarm condition configured on an interface has triggered a critical warning.
• Minor (yellow)—Indicates a noncritical condition on the routing platform that, if left unchecked, might cause an interruption in service or degradation in performance. A yellow alarm condition requires monitoring or maintenance.

  A missing rescue configuration or software license generates a yellow system alarm.
