Every alarm is assigned one of the following severities:

Critical

Major

Minor

Warning

Optionally, you can configure alarms to be sent as SNMP traps when alarms
are raised or cleared, which is described in

SNMP management (page 36)

. A

network management station can use SNMP to poll the platform to determine
which alarms are active.

To view active alarms, use the Nortel MAS Console. The following table
describes the information that you can view for each alarm.
