Cabletron Systems 2000 Deleting an Alarm, Event, or Action

Alarm Conﬁguration

5. Once you have selected the object you wish to set, you must assign the

appropriate instance value in the Instance ﬁeld. If you’re not sure how the

object you wish to set is instanced, you can use the MIB Tree utility (described

in the

Tools Guide

) to query it; all available instances for the object will be

displayed.

6. In the Value ﬁeld, enter the value you wish to set for the selected object.

Again, if you’re not sure what the valid values are for the variable you wish to

set, locate the object in the MIBTree utility and use the Details button to

obtain more information.

7. Once you’ve conﬁgured your action, click on the Add button; the action will be

added to the Action Table list in the lower left corner of the window. Note that

the window remains open so that you may conﬁgure additional new actions or

modify existing ones; selecting on any action in the Action Table will display

that action’s parameters in the window and make them available for editing.

When you have ﬁnished conﬁguring your actions, click on the Cancel button

to close the window.

Note that the Action Table will update automatically each time an action is added

or deleted; use the Refresh button to update the table at any time.

Deleting an Alarm, Event, or Action

To delete an alarm, event, or action:

1. In the appropriate window, highlight the alarm, event, or action you wish to

remove.

2. Click on the Delete button to remove. A window will appear asking you to

conﬁrm your selection; click on the OK button to delete, or on the Cancel

button to cancel.

When you delete an event, be sure you edit all alarms that were pointing to that

event, and assign a new valid event to those thresholds; note, too, that deleting an

event automatically deletes its associated actions, as actions cannot exist in the

absence of an association with an event.

Again, as a general rule, we recommend that you do not delete an alarm or event

of which you are not the owner.

TIP

If you select an invalid OID Ñ that is, one which does not permit write access Ñ the

message !!CanÕt set action on this type!! will be displayed in the Variable Þeld.

If you donÕt know the exact spelling of the OID you wish to use for your alarm variable,

and you canÕt Þnd it by searching through the tree, use the MIB Tool Find feature to locate

the OID and determine its exact spelling (and tree location). For more information on the

MIB Tool utility and its Find capabilities, see the MIB Tools chapter in the SPECTRUM

Element Manager Tools Guide. Note that this Find feature is no longer case-sensitive.
