Alarm types
Alarms include the following types:
Chassis alarm—Predefined alarm triggered by a physical condition on the device such as a power
supply failure or excessive component temperature.
Interface alarm—Alarm you configure to alert you when an interface link is down. Applies to
ethernet, fibre-channel, and management-ethernet interfaces. You can configure a red (major)
or yellow (minor) alarm for the link-down condition, or have the condition ignored.
System alarm—Predefined alarm that might be triggered by a missing rescue configuration, failure
to install a license for a licensed software feature, or high disk usage.

ACX5000 Router Interface Alarm Messages
Interface alarms are alarms that you configure to alert you when an interface is down.
To configure an interface link-down condition to trigger a red or yellow alarm, or to configure the link-down
condition to be ignored, use the alarm statement at the [edit chassis] hierarchy level. You can specify the
ethernet, fibre-channel, or management-ethernet interface type.
NOTE:
When red alarms or major alarms are issued on an ACX5000 router, the alarm LED glows
amber instead of red.
