Chassis Alarm Messages on the PTX1000
Chassis alarms indicate a failure on the device or one of its components. Chassis alarms are preset and
cannot be modified.
Chassis alarms on PTX1000 routers have two severity levels:
•
Major (red)—Indicates a critical situation on the device that has resulted from one of the conditions
described in Table 31 on page 116. A red alarm condition requires immediate action.
•
Minor (yellow or amber)—Indicates a noncritical condition on the device that, if left unchecked, might
cause an interruption in service or degradation in performance. A yellow alarm condition requires
monitoring or maintenance.
Table 31 on page 116 describes the chassis alarm messages on the PTX1000.
