Fault Management
This chapter describes how to view appropriate fault information on the Cisco 12000/10720 Routers you
are managing. The Cisco 12000/10720 Routers can be configured to send SNMP traps when various
conditions are detected. This may be a fault, the correction/resolution of a previous condition or a status
update. Traps are translated into Cisco EMF alarms and raised against the appropriate Cisco
12000/10720 Router Manager object. These alarms are cleared automatically (if the resolution can be
clearly detected by Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager) or manually.
This chapter contains the following information:
• Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager Alarms
• Cisco 12000/10720 Router Trap Support

Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager Alarms
Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager enables you to identify faults or alarms generated by
Cisco 12000/10720 Routers. Within the Map Viewer application, you are notified of alarms on
individual objects by the colored status icons next to each managed object. The following table details
all status colors and their related severities.
Alarms are propagated up the object hierarchy, and are reflected up to the highest level. For example,
say a major (orange) alarm occurs on an interface. If you do not have the chassis map open, and if the
interface text is not apparent, how would you know an alarm had occurred at that level? The answer is:
