Repeater-level Security and Traps

Locking ports at the repeater, or channel, level applies all applicable security (as configured via the Port Security window) to every port on the channel.

NOTE

If you select a repeater whose ports have different security capabilities, you may still be able to select and apply security states which are not applicable to all ports. Applying these kinds of settings will have no adverse affect on your network devices: those ports which can accept the set will do so; those which cannot will either ignore the set or issue a Set Failed.

To enable or disable security and traps for all ports on a repeater:

1.In the Repeater Security window, click mouse button 1 on the repeater interface for which you would like to configure port locking and/or traps.

2.Click mouse button 1 on ; the Channel X Security window, Figure 7-5, will appear. Note that the current repeater-level settings are displayed immediately to the right of the field names; a repeater whose ports have different Security Mode or Trap settings will display a status of “Mismatch.”

3.In the Security Mode field, click mouse button 1 on the appropriate selection to apply Full or Continuous lock status to all ports on the selected repeater channel, or to Unlock all ports on the channel. (Note that if your EMM-E6 does not support the newest security enhancements, the Continuous selection will be unavailable.)

4.In the Send Trap field, click mouse button 1 on the appropriate selection to Enable or Disable traps for the selected repeater channel.
