Parameter	Description	Value
alarm-name	Specifies the registered alarm name.	The value is a string and varies according to the registered device type. To view registered alarm information, run the display alarm information command.

Alarms are classified into the following severities: critical: indicates that a fault affecting services has occurred and it must be rectified immediately. major: indicates that services are being affected and related measures need to be taken urgently. minor: indicates that a fault occurs but does not affect services. To avoid more serious faults that affect services, related measures must be taken. warning: indicates that a potential or impending service-affecting fault is detected before any significant effect has been felt.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

You can run the alarm-name severity command to raise or lower the level of an alarm based on the severity and emergency of the alarm. However, the level of a clear alarm cannot be changed unless during the configuration restoration period. You can configure filtering conditions to allow the NMS to receive only alarms of specified alarm severity.

Precautions

The default severity of each alarm is different. To view the default severity of an alarm, run the undo alarm-name severity and display alarm information commands in sequence.
