Chassis Alarm Messages on the PTX1000
Chassis alarms indicate a failure on the device or one of its components. Chassis alarms are preset and
cannot be modified.
Chassis alarms on PTX1000 routers have two severity levels:
Major (red)—Indicates a critical situation on the device that has resulted from one of the conditions
described in
Table 31 on page
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.
Table 31 on page 116
