When you are changing trap settings at the Repeater level, a check box that is toggled to gray for a given trap is treated as a “No SET” indicator, so that the current settings for all ports with respect to that trap will not be overridden when you are changing other trap settings.

1.Open the Repeater Trap Selection window.
2.Click on the check box next to the desired trap: Link State, Segmentation, or Source Address.

•A check box that remains gray indicates that the associated trap will not be set (to either enabled or disabled), and the currently set mode will be maintained.
3.Click on Apply. The device will now issue, or stop issuing, the indicated traps to your management workstation. Keep in mind, however, that no traps will be issued to your management station unless the IRM2’s trap table has been properly configured via Local Management! Consult your IRM2 Local Management documentation for more information.
4.Click on Cancel to exit the window; note that clicking on Cancel before clicking on Apply will close the window without making any changes.
