Managing Ethernet MicroLAN Modules
Your Alarm Limits are now set. Any condition that exceeds these alarm limits will generate an alarm, and disable that board or port, if so configured. Refer to the Element Manager Alarm and Event Handling Guide for information on how to use the alarm logging facilities to view alarms.
Trap Selection
Among the traps which Enterasys devices are designed to generate are traps which indicate when a repeater port gains or loses a link signal (Link State Traps); when the repeater segments (disconnects) a port due to collision activity, and when a segmented port becomes active again (Segmentation Traps); and several traps that result from changes in a port’s Source Address Table (Source Address Traps). In some networks, these traps may impart more information than a network manager wants to see. With the Trap Selection option available from the Repeater, Board, and Port menus, you can selectively enable and disable these traps.
Any traps issued by the Ethernet MicroLAN module will appear in NetSight Element Manager’s alarm logging facility. (Refer to your Alarm and Event Handling Guide for more details.)
NOTE |
In order for your device to issue any traps – and in order for your management workstation to receive those traps – your Ethernet MicroLAN module’s trap table must have been properly configured via Local Management; see the Ethernet MicroLAN module hardware manual or Local Management documentation for more information.
