Section 2 Events and Alarms Messages originate from the switch or from the SANbox Manager application in response to events that occur in the fabric. Events are classified by severity level: critical, warning, and information. Among the critical events are a special class called alarms. Alarms originate on the switch and can be displayed using the SANbox Manager application or the command line interface. Alarm thresholds can be defined for certain port errors to customize when to generate an alarm. 2.
2 – Events and Alarms Displaying the Events Using the Command Line Interface 0 2.2 Displaying the Events Using the Command Line Interface When you log into a switch through Telnet, the command line interface automatically displays the alarm history. You can use the Show Alarm or Show Log command to display the alarm history at any time. New alarm messages are displayed in the command stream as they occur. Refer to the Installation Guide for your switch for more information about the Show Log command. 2.
0 2 – Events and Alarms Configuring Port Alarm Thresholds 2. Open an FTP session on the switch and login with the account name images and password images. Transfer the file logfile in binary mode with the Get command. >ftp ip_address user:images password: images ftp>bin ftp>get logfile xxxxx bytes sent in xx secs. ftp>quit 2.5 Configuring Port Alarm Thresholds You can configure the switch to generate alarms for selected events.
