is closed and then displays the status and configuration for all alarms:
Switch(config)# alarm contact 2 description door sensor
Switch(config)# alarm contact 2 severity major
Switch(config)# alarm contact 2 trigger closed
Switch(config)# end
Switch(config)# show env alarm-contact
Switch# show env alarm-contact
