Attaching An Alarm Profile To A Specific Port - Cisco 2950 - Catalyst Switch Configuration Manual

Configuring Catalyst 2955 Switch Alarms
This example creates or modifies the alarm profile fastE for the fastEthernetPort with link-down
(alarmList ID 3) and an FCS error rate of 30 percent (alarmList ID 4) alarms enabled. The link-down
alarm is connected to the minor relay, and the FCS error rate alarm is connected to the major relay. These
alarms also send notifications to an SNMP server and send system messages to a syslog server.
Switch(config)# alarm profile fastE
Switch(config-alarm- prof)# alarm 3 4
Switch(config-alarm- prof)# relay major 4
Switch(config-alarm- prof)# relay minor 3
Switch(config-alarm- prof)# notifies 3 4
Switch(config-alarm- prof)# syslog 3 4
Note Before you can use the notifies command to send alarm traps to an SNMP server, you must first set up
the SNMP server by using the snmp-server enable traps alarms global configuration command. See

Attaching an Alarm Profile to a Specific Port

In interface configuration mode, you can use the alarm-profile command to attach an alarm profile to a
specific port.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to attach an alarm profile to a port:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2 interface port interface
Step 3 alarm-profile name
Step 4
end
Step 5 show alarm profile
Step 6 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
To detach an alarm profile from a specific port, use the no alarm-profile name interface configuration
command.
This example attaches an alarm profile named fastE to a port.
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet 0/2
Switch(config-if)# alarm profile fastE
