Interface Alarm Messages
Interface alarms are alarms that you configure to alert you when an interface is down.
To configure an interface link-down condition to trigger a red or yellow alarm, or to configure the link-down condition to be ignored, use the alarm statement at the [edit chassis] hierarchy level. You can specify the ethernet, fibre-channel, or management-ethernet interface type.
![]() | Note: Fibre Channel alarms are only valid on QFX3500 devices. |
By default, major alarms are configured for interface link-down conditions on the control plane and management network interfaces in a QFabric system. The link-down alarms indicate that connectivity to the control plane network is down. You can configure these alarms to be ignored using the alarm statement at the [edit chassis] hierarchy level.
![]() | Note: If you configure a yellow alarm on the QFX3008-I Interconnect device, it will be handled as a red alarm. |
