Fault Management

When a fault or event occurs, a network component will often send a notification to the network operator using a proprietary or open protocol such as SNMP . An alarm is a persistent indication of a fault that clears only when the problem that triggered it has been resolved. A current list of problems occurring on the network component is often kept in the form of an active alarm list such as is defined in RFC 3877 the Alarm MIB.
