Basic Alarm Configuration
Current versions of the Basic Alarm Configuration application do not provide a means for
TIP viewing any alarm logs you choose to create; if you wish to use the Log option, you can view the associated log via the MIBTree or any similar
Trap
Indicates whether or not each alarm has been configured to issue a trap in response to a rising or falling alarm condition: Yes if it has, No if it hasn’t. Remember, if you choose to select this option for your alarms, you must be sure the 7C0x has been configured to send traps to your management workstation, and that the management workstation you choose has the ability to accept those trap messages. See the Trap Table chapter in the SPMA Tools Guide for more information.
Polling Interval
Displays the amount of time, in seconds, over which the selected alarm variable will be sampled. At the end of the interval, the sample value will be compared to both the rising and falling thresholds (described below). You can set any interval from 1 to 999,999,999 seconds; however, intervals shorter than 10 seconds are not likely to perform well. The default value is 30 seconds.
Rising Threshold
Displays the high threshold value set for the selected alarm variable. By default, values used to compare to the thresholds are relative, or delta values (the difference between the value counted at the end of the current interval and the value counted at the end of the previous interval); be sure to set your thresholds accordingly.
Rising Action
Indicates whether or not a rising alarm occurrence will initiate any actions in response to the alarm condition: Enable if bridging will be enabled at the selected interface in response to a rising alarm, Disable if bridging will be disabled at the selected interface in response to a rising alarm, and None if no actions have been configured for the selected alarm.
Falling Threshold
Displays the low threshold value set for the selected alarm variable. By default, values used to compare to the thresholds are relative, or delta values (the difference between the value counted at the end of the current interval and the value counted at the end of the previous interval); be sure to set your thresholds accordingly.
Falling Action
Indicates whether or not a falling alarm occurrence will initiate any actions in response to the alarm condition: Enable if bridging will be enabled at the selected interface in response to a falling alarm, Disable if bridging will be disabled in response to a falling alarm, and None if no actions have been configured for the selected alarm.
