levels
Major (red)—Indicates a critical situation on the device that has resulted from one of the following
conditions. A red alarm condition requires immediate action.

An alarm condition configured on an interface has triggered a critical warning.
Minor (yellow or amber)—Indicates a noncritical condition on the device that, if left unchecked, might
cause an interruption in service or degradation in performance. A yellow alarm condition requires
monitoring or maintenance. For example, a missing rescue configuration generates a yellow system
alarm.
