Customizing SNMP Alarm Severity

The Alarms Customization table lets you configure up to 150 Alarm Customization rules. The table

allows you to customize the severity levels of the device's SNMP trap alarms. The table also

allows you to disable (suppress) an alarm all together or a specific alarm severity. For example, by

default, when an alarm cannot be entered in the Active Alarms table due to it being full, the device

sends the acActiveAlarmTableOverflow alarm with a severity level of Major. By using this table,

you can customize this alarm condition and change the severity level to Warning, for example.

The following procedure describes how to customize alarm severity levels through the Web

interface. You can also configure it through ini file [AlarmSeverity] or CLI (configure system >

snmp alarm-customization).

To customize SNMP alarm severity levels:

Open the Alarms Customization table (Setup menu > Administration tab > SNMP folder >

Alarm Customization).

Privacy key. Keys can be entered in the form of a text password or long hex

string. Keys are always persisted as long hex strings and keys are

The group with which the SNMP v3 user is associated.

[0] Read-Only

[1] Read-Write (default)

Note: All groups can be used to send traps.

If you have customized an alarm that has subsequently been sent by the device

and you then delete the rule when the alarm is still active, the device doesn't send

the alarm again for that instance. For example, assume that you customize the

severity of the acBoardEthernetLinkAlarm alarm to Warning and the Ethernet

cable is subsequently disconnected. If you then delete the rule while this condition

still exists (i.e., cable still disconnected), the device does not re-send the

acBoardEthernetLinkAlarm alarm (with the default severity level -- Major or Minor).

If you configure multiple Alarm Customization rules for the same alarm, out of all

these same rules the device applies only the rule that you configured first (i.e.,

listed highest in the table -- with lowest Index) and ignores the others.

After an HA switchover, all disabled (Suppressed) alarms are restored (not

suppressed).
