Delete Removes the resilient link pair from the table when an entry in the resilience table is selected. If you delete an entry in the resilience table, the current active link remains enabled and the current standby link is cancelled.

If the main link fails, the standby link becomes active. If the fault with the main link is solved, the standby link stays active and the main link acts like a standby link. You can swap the links around using management.

Using the Hub to Monitor Other Devices

Your hub can be used to monitor other devices on your network, and to notify an IP/IPX-based network management application should a problem occur with a device attached to it. The hub notifies the IP/IPX-based network management application by sending SNMP traps (messages) to it.

If you have a large network with many devices, this feature allows you to distribute device monitoring among those managed devices on your network, easing the load on the IP/IPX-based network management application.

This facility also allows you to monitor devices that are otherwise not directly manageable, such as workstations. Any device with an IP or IPX address can be monitored.

To add a device for the hub to monitor:

1Do one of the following:

■Double-click on the graphical representation of the hub (but not on a port).

■From the Configure menu, select General Info...
