Alarm Configuration

NOTES

In order for the trap selection to work properly, your 9H42x-xx must be configured to send traps to your network management station. This can be accomplished via the Remote Administration Tools application or via Local Management and the Trap Table. See the Remote Administration Tools User’s Guide and/or 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.

5.Any value you enter in the Community field will be included in any trap messages issued by your 9H42x-xx in response to the alarm(s) you are configuring; this value is also used to direct traps related to this alarm to the appropriate management workstation(s):

a.If you enter a value in this field, traps related to the associated alarms will only be sent to the network management stations in the device’s trap table which have been assigned the same community name (and for which traps have been enabled). Any IP addresses in the device’s trap table which have not been assigned the same community string, or which have been assigned no community string, will not receive traps related to the alarm(s) you are configuring.

b.If you leave this field blank, traps related to the associated alarms will be sent to any network management stations which have been added to the device’s trap table, and for which traps have been enabled — regardless of whether or not those IP addresses have been assigned a community name in the Trap Table.

For more information about configuring the 9H42x-xx’s Trap Table, consult the Remote

TIP Administration Tools User’s Guide and/or your Local Management documentation. (Remember, no traps will be sent by your 9H42x-xx at all unless its Trap Table has been properly configured!)

6.Click in the Rising Threshold field; enter the high threshold value for this alarm. Remember, compared values are always 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.

Remember, too, when configuring aKilobits alarm, SPECTRUM Element Manager converts octets into kilobits (units of 125 bytes, or octets) for you; for example, to set a rising threshold of 1250 octets, enter a threshold value of 10.
