Term Definition
Alarm severity Seriousness of the alarm. The level of severity can be either major (red) or minor (yellow).
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.
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 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.
Alarm types Alarms include the following types:
Chassis alarm—Predefined alarm triggered by a physical condition on the device such as a power
supply failure or excessive component temperature.
Interface alarm—Alarm you configure to alert you when an interface link is down. Applies to
ethernet, fibre-channel, and management-ethernet interfaces. You can configure a red (major)
or yellow (minor) alarm for the link-down condition, or have the condition ignored.
System alarm—Predefined alarm that might be triggered by a missing rescue configuration, failure
to install a license for a licensed software feature, or high disk usage.

Chassis Alarm Messages

Chassis alarms indicate a failure on the device or one of its components. Chassis alarms are preset and
cannot be modified.

Major (red)—Indicates a critical situation on the device that has resulted from one of the conditions
described in Table 132 on page
Minor (yellow)—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.
Table 132 on page 625 describes the chassis alarm messages on QFX5100, QFX5110, QFX5200, QFX5210,
and QFX5120 devices.
