1   Introduction

This instruction concerns alarm handling.

This document is only applicable for systems using Extreme switches configured dynamically by the Cloud Execution Environment (CEE). Refer to the Configuration File Guide for more information about the CEE configuration types.

1.1   Alarm Description

The alarm is issued by the Managed Object (MO) Fan when malfunction occurs in one or more cooling fans in the physical switch.

The severity of the alarm is CRITICAL.

The possible alarm causes and fault locations are described in Table 1.

Table 1    Alarm Causes

Alarm Cause	Description	Fault Reason	Fault Location	Impact
Cooling fan or fans are down	Failure of one or more cooling fans in physical switch.	Fan module is faulty	Switch fan module	Cooling malfunction

The following is the consequence for the node if the alarm is not solved:

• Cooling malfunction in the physical switch.

The alarm attributes are listed in Table 2.
