Configuring and Monitoring Alarms

Alarms alert you to conditions on a network interface, on the device chassis, or in the system software that might prevent the device from operating normally. You can set the conditions that trigger alarms on an interface. Chassis and system alarm conditions are preset.

An active alarm lights the ALARM LED on the front panel of the device. You can monitor active alarms from the J-Web interface or the CLI.

For more information about alarms, see the Junos System Basics Configuration Guide.
