Note The procedures in the following sections can be completed by users at all access levels.
Displaying Node Alarms
A node alarm report displays a summary report of all alarms on the node. To display node alarms, enter
the following command:
M8830_CH.1.PXM.a > dspndalms
The following example shows the node alarm report display.
M8830_CH.1.PXM.a > dspndalms

Typically, you would start investigating alarms by displaying the node alarms. Once you have identified
the area that is producing the alarms, you would enter additional commands to display detailed
information on those alarms. The following sections describe how to display these detailed reports.
Displaying Clock Alarms
Cisco MGX switches monitor the quality of the clock sources. If the timing for a clock source strays
beyond the tolerance thresholds, an alarm is reported. To view the clock alarms, enter the following
command:
mgx8850a.2.PXM.a> dspclkalms
The following is an example clock alarm report:
mgx8850a.2.PXM.a> dspclkalms
