Alarms on the MX104 routers have two severity classes:
Major (steady red)—Indicates a critical situation on the router 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 (steady yellow)—Indicates a noncritical condition on the router that, if left
unchecked, might cause an interruption in service or degradation in performance. A
minor alarm condition requires monitoring or maintenance.
A missing rescue configuration generates a minor system alarm.
Chassis Conditions That Trigger Alarms

Use the monitoring functionality to view alarm information for the MX104 routers, including
alarm type, alarm severity, and a brief description for each active alarm on the router.
Observe the system LED on the front panel of the router. If the router is functioning
normally with no alarms, the system LED lights green steadily.
