The Alarm Only mode allows new stations to enter the ring, but a Òstation addedÓ trap/alarm notiÞes the Network Management Station (NMS) of the event. The trap/alarm includes the new stationÕs MAC address so that the network manager can decide if the new station should be allowed on the ring.
Do not enter Remove/Alarm mode without Þrst entering the Alarm Only mode or adding nodes to the allowed list. All nodes not appearing in the list, currently active on the ring, WILL BE REMOVED!
The Remove/Alarm mode sends a ÒRemove Station MAC Frame CommandÓ to new stations attempting to enter the ring, and a trap/alarm to the NMS informing it of the action taken. If, after three attempts, the station (outside the hub) cannot be removed from the ring, a trap/alarm is sent to the NMS informing it that Òthe station could not be removed.Ó Also, the port is disabled for the station directly connected to the hub and a trap/alarm is sent indicating port removal.
