Advanced Alarm Conﬁguration 3-23

Alarm Conﬁguration

c. Select both Log and Trap to both log the event occurrence and generate

the traps.

If you select neither option, the event’s occurrences will neither be logged nor

generate traps; unless the event includes an action or a series of actions, this

effectively disables the event (since there will be no indication that it has been

triggered).

7. For Cabletron devices which support the proprietary Actions MIB, an

button will appear in the Create/Edit Events window; using this feature, you

can conﬁgure an SNMP SET or series of SETs that will be performed

automatically when the event is triggered. See Adding Actions to an Event,

below, for more information.

8. Click to set your changes. Note that the window remains open so that

you may conﬁgure additional new events or modify existing ones; remember,

you can double-click on any event in the Events Watch list in the main

Alarm/Event window to display its parameters in the Create/Edit Event

window (and in the Create/Edit Actions window, if it’s open). When you have

ﬁnished conﬁguring your events, click on to close the window.

Adding Actions to an Event

For Cabletron devices which support the proprietary Actions MIB, selecting the

button in the Create/Edit Events window opens the Create/Edit

Actions window (Figure 3-6), which allows you to deﬁne an SNMP SET or series

of SETs that will be performed automatically when the associated event is

triggered.

To add an action or series of actions to an event:

1. In the Create/Edit Events window, click on . The Create/Edit Actions

window, Figure 3-6, will appear.

NOTES

In order for the trap selection to work properly, your 9H42x-xx must be conﬁgured to send

traps to the management station. This is accomplished via local management; consult

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.

NOTE

The Event Type ﬁeld in the Advanced Alarm/Event List window will display a value of

“none” if neither the Log nor the Trap response has been selected; note, however, that this

ﬁeld does not indicate whether or not an event has been conﬁgured to perform an SNMP

SET or series of SETs via the Actions MIB.
