Cisco Systems OL-7064-01 manual Ignoring a Linkset

Chapter 8 Working with Linksets

Ignoring a Linkset

To delete a linkset from the SGM database, use one of the following procedures:

•Select one or more linksets in a window, then select Edit > Delete from the SGM Main Menu.

•Right-click a linkset in a window, then select Delete in the right-click menu. (You cannot delete more than one linkset at a time from the right-click menu.)

SGM asks you to confirm the deletion:

•Select Yes to delete the selected linksets. SGM deletes the linksets and all associated links from the SGM database. However, if the linksets were not physically deleted from your network, then at the next poll SGM finds the linksets and their associated links and adds them back to the SGM database, setting the status appropriately.

•Select No to return to the window without deleting any linksets or links from the SGM database.

You can also use the sgm delete linkset command to delete one or more linksets from the SGM database. See the “sgm delete” section on page C-24for more information on the use of this command.

Ignoring a Linkset

You can instruct SGM to ignore a linkset when it aggregates and displays network data. Setting linksets to Ignored prevents known linkset problems from affecting SGM displays for associated objects. In effect, you are preventing a known problem from distracting you from other, more urgent network problems.

For example, you can set a linkset to Ignored before shutting down the linkset for maintenance.

Note If you set a linkset to Ignored, the linkset is ignored for all SGM clients and views connected to that SGM server.

Also, if you set a linkset to Ignored, make a note of the change, and do not forget to reset the linkset when the problem is corrected or the maintenance is complete.
