Information About Switch Alarms
The switch software monitors switch conditions on a per-port or a switch basis. If the conditions present
on the switch or a port do not match the set parameters, the switch software triggers an alarm or a system
message. By default, the switch software sends the system messages to a system message logging
facility, or a syslog facility. You can also configure the switch to send Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) traps to an SNMP server. You can configure the switch to trigger an external alarm
device by using the alarm relay. For more information on how to configure the alarms, see the
“Configuring Switch Alarms” section on page 5-7.
