Configuring Catalyst 2955 Switch Alarms
This section describes how to configure the temperature alarms on your switch. It contains this
configuration information:
• Setting a Secondary Temperature Threshold for the Switch, page 3-7
• Associating the Temperature Alarms to a Relay, page 3-7
Setting a Secondary Temperature Threshold for the Switch
In global configuration mode, you can use the alarm facility temperature secondary command to set
a lower temperature threshold for the secondary temperature monitoring alarm. You can also use the
alarm facility temperature secondary command to associate the secondary temperature alarm to either
the major or minor alarm relay.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to set a lower temperature threshold:
Use the no alarm facility temperature secondary threshold global configuration command to disable
the secondary temperature threshold alarm.
This example disables the secondary temperature alarm.
Switch(config) # no alarm facility temperature secondary 45
Associating the Temperature Alarms to a Relay
By default, the primary temperature alarm is associated to the major relay. You can use the alarm facility
temperature command to associate the primary temperature alarm to the minor relay, to an SNMP trap,
to a syslog message, or to associate the secondary temperature alarm to the major or minor relay, an
SNMP trap, or a syslog message.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to associate the secondary temperature alarm to
a relay:
