Interface Alarm Messages
Interface alarms are alarms that you configure to alert you when an interface is down.
To configure an interface link-down condition to trigger a red or yellow alarm, or to
configure the link-down condition to be ignored, use the
alarm
statement at the [edit chassis
] hierarchy level. You can
specify the ethernet
, fibre-channel
, or
management-ethernet
interface type.
By default, major alarms are configured for interface link-down conditions on the control
plane and management network interfaces. The link-down alarms indicate that connectivity
to the control plane network is down. You can configure these alarms to be ignored using
the
alarm
statement at the [edit chassis
] hierarchy level.
