Configuring IE 3000 Switch Alarms
Table 3-4 lists the alarmList IDs and their corresponding alarm definitions. For a description of these
alarms, see the “Port Status Monitoring Alarms” section on page 3-2.
Attaching an Alarm Profile to a Specific Port
In interface configuration mode, you can use the alarm-profile command to attach an alarm profile to a
specific port.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to attach an alarm profile to a port:
To detach an alarm profile from a specific port, use the no alarm-profile name interface configuration
command.
This example attaches an alarm profile named fastE to a port.
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet 1/2
Switch(config-if)# alarm profile fastE
This example detaches an alarm profile named fastE from a port.
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet 1/2
Switch(config-if)# no alarm profile fastE
Enabling SNMP Traps
Use the snmp-server enable traps alarms global configuration command to enable the switch to send
alarm traps.
Note Before using alarm profiles to set the switch to send SNMP alarm trap notifications to an SNMP server,
you must first enable SNMP by using the snmp-server enable traps alarms global configuration
command.
