Type Category of the alarm:
NOTE: When you connect power to a J-EX4200 switch, the Alarm (ALM) LED lights red to indicate
that the network link is disconnected. This behavior is normal. Plugging an active Ethernet cable into
the management (MGMT) port on the switch completes the network link and turns off the ALM LED.
Connecting the switch to a dedicated management console instead of a network does not affect
the ALM LED. The LED remains red until the switch is connected to a network.
Severity Alarm severity—either major (red) or minor (yellow).
Description Brief synopsis of the alarm.
Time Date and time when the failure was detected.
