Display local alarms

View local alarms to monitor alarm conditions.

Local alarms are raised and cleared by applications running on the switch. Local alarms are an automatic mechanism run by the system that do not require any additional user configuration. The raising and clearing of local alarms also creates a log entry for each event. Check alarms occasionally to ensure no alarms require additional operator attention.

For more information, see Alarm Database.
