Alarm Severity Levels
Alarms on switches have two severity levels:
• Major (red)—Indicates a critical situation on the switch 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 (yellow or amber)—Indicates a noncritical condition on the switch that, if left unchecked, might
cause an interruption in service or degradation in performance. A yellow or amber alarm condition
requires monitoring or maintenance.
A missing rescue configuration generates a yellow or amber system alarm.
