Alarm Configuration

NOTES

In order for the trap selection to work properly, your 9H42x-xx must be configured to send traps to the management station. This is accomplished via local management; consult your device hardware manual for more information.

If you are monitoring a variable you consider to be critical, we do not recommend that you select Trap as the only event response; if a trap is lost due to a collision or other transmission problem, it will not be re-sent.

c.Select both Log and Trap to both log the event occurrence and generate the traps.

If you select neither option, the event’s occurrences will neither be logged nor generate traps; unless the event includes an action or a series of actions, this effectively disables the event (since there will be no indication that it has been triggered).

NOTE

The Event Type field in the Advanced Alarm/Event List window will display a value of “none” if neither the Log nor the Trap response has been selected; note, however, that this field does not indicate whether or not an event has been configured to perform an SNMP SET or series of SETs via the Actions MIB.

7.For Cabletron devices which support the proprietary Actions MIB, an button will appear in the Create/Edit Events window; using this feature, you can configure an SNMP SET or series of SETs that will be performed automatically when the event is triggered. See Adding Actions to an Event, below, for more information.

8.Click to set your changes. Note that the window remains open so that you may configure additional new events or modify existing ones; remember, you can double-click on any event in the Events Watch list in the main Alarm/Event window to display its parameters in the Create/Edit Event window (and in the Create/Edit Actions window, if it’s open). When you have

finished configuring your events, click on

to close the window.

Adding Actions to an Event

For Cabletron devices which support the proprietary Actions MIB, selecting the button in the Create/Edit Events window opens the Create/Edit Actions window (Figure 3-6), which allows you to define an SNMP SET or series of SETs that will be performed automatically when the associated event is triggered.

To add an action or series of actions to an event:

1.In the Create/Edit Events window, click on . The Create/Edit Actions window, Figure 3-6, will appear.
