Alarm Devices and Messages
When a major or minor alarm occurs, it logs the cause of the alarm. If the alarm relay
contact is connected to alarm devices, the router also trips the corresponding alarm relay
contact.
To view a detailed description of the alarm cause, issue the show chassis alarms command:
user@host> show chassis alarms
