Note: When all UPLINK interfaces are out of service, a CRITICAL alarm will be raised regardless of the
threshold values.
8.2.4 Configurable Alarm Severity (Interface Alarm)
The user has the ability to control the severity level of interface alarms. As explained in 8.2.3, an interface fail-
ure is usually considered a minor alarm, but if a specific customer interface is considered a high priority, the
user can control the severity to highlight that particular interface. The commands to perform this are:
• SET INTERFACE ALARM SEVERITY
• SETDEFAULTS ALARM SEVERITY
When applying the command SET INTERFACE ALARM SEVERITY, the specified severity level (minor, major, or
critical) is used for any failing alarms on the specified interface(s). It is also used to set a limit on severities of
any degrading alarms on the interface(s). For example, if an interface has a failing alarm defined that defaults to
MAJOR and a degrading alarm that defaults to MAJOR, setting the interface alarm severity to MINOR will
cause both the failing and degrading alarms to be raised as MINOR. However, if an interface has a failing alarm
of MINOR and a degrading alarm of MINOR as defaults, then setting the interface alarm severity to MAJOR
only affects the failing alarm; the degrading alarm would still be raised as MINOR.
Using the command
SETDEFAULTS INTERFACE ALARM SEVERITY will set the severity levels back to the
hardcoded defaults.
The user can display the current severity setting for any interface using
SHOW INTERFACE ALARM SEVERITY.
Refer to Section 2.4.3 for a listing of these commands.
