Configuring IE 3000 Switch Alarms
Creating or Modifying an Alarm Profile
You can use the alarm profile global configuration command to create an alarm profile or to modify an
existing profile. When you create a new alarm profile, none of the alarms are enabled.
The only alarm enabled in the defaultPort profile is the Port not operating alarm.
Note
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to create an alarm profile:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
alarm profile name
Step 3
alarm alarm-id
Step 4
notifies alarm-id
Step 5
relay-major alarm-id
relay-minor alarm-id
Step 6
syslog alarm-id
Step 7
end
Step 8
show alarm profile name
Step 9
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
To delete an alarm profile, use the no alarm profile name global configuration command.
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 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 the
"Enabling SNMP Traps" section on page
