Configuring Alarm Profiles
This section describes how to configure alarm profiles on your switch. It contains this configuration
information:
• Creating or Modifying an Alarm Profile, page 3-10
• Attaching an Alarm Profile to a Specific Port, page 3-11
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.
Note The only alarm enabled in the defaultPort profile is the Port is not Operating alarm.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to create an alarm profile:
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
