Viewing Carrier-Grade Alarms

This section describes how to view SNMP alarms raised by the device.

Viewing Active Alarms

You can view current (active) alarms in the Web interface that have been raised by the device. If an
alarm is cleared, it is moved into the History Alarms table (see
alarms are displayed from newest to oldest. In other words, the most recently raised alarm is
shown first in the list. The table is automatically refreshed every 60 seconds.
If the device is in High Availability (HA) mode, the table also displays alarms raised by the
Redundant device. These alarms are shown in the 'Source' field with the alarm source varbind
prefix, "Redundant" (e.g., "Redundant#1/EthernetLink#7"). Alarms raised by the Active device are
shown without this source varbind prefix (e.g., Board#1/EthernetLink#7).

The alarms in the table are deleted upon a device reset.
If the device is in HA mode, the Redundant device's alarms in the table are deleted
upon an HA switchover or if the device changes from HA to a Standalone device.
To configure the maximum number of active alarms that can be displayed in the
table, see the ini file parameter, ActiveAlarmTableMaxSize.
The alarm bell icon, located on the top-right of the Web interface's window,
displays the number of currently active alarms raised by the device and the highest
severity (color coded - see below) of these alarms. If the device is in HA mode, the
icon displays the number of currently active alarms raised by both Active and
Redundant devices as well as the highest severity of all these active alarms.
For more information on SNMP alarms, refer to the SNMP Reference Guide
document.
