3-10 Configuring Cabletron Glyph Properties

Manually Creating SmartSwitch 9000 Module and Chassis Glyphs
You can create a glyph for any individual SmartSwitch 9000 module
by selecting the appropriate component available in the
ToolsÑ>Object Palette window; these components are now
available for each individual SmartSwitch 9000 module type. The
SmartSwitch 9000 glyphs function like any other glyph: just conÞgure
the object properties as usual, being sure to assign a valid community
name and to select the appropriate MIB agent Þles (if desired) as
listed in Appendix A.
You can also create a glyph to represent a SmartSwitch 9000 six- or
14-slot chassis as a whole by selecting the appropriate csi9000
component. To conÞgure the SmartSwitch 9000 chassis glyph, you
need only assign a name in the Object ConÞguration window; this
can consist of any alphanumeric string that will help you identify the
chassis. You need Þll in no other Þelds in this window, and you need
not select any agent Þles. Note that this glyph will not interact with
Solstice Enterprise Manager with respect to contact status, since the
chassis itself does not yet have its own IP address or its own
intelligence; however, the csi9000 glyphs will provide access to the
SmartSwitch 9000 chassis Hub View, which can be manually
conÞgured to display each of the installed modules.
NOTES
Please note that only those MIB agent files which apply to devices for which
you have installed SPMA management modules will appear in the MIB
agent list.
Also, note that selecting MIB agent files for your glyphs is entirely optional;
all installed MIB agent files can always be accessed from the SNMP Browser
tool. See your Solstice Enterprise Manager documentation for details.
!
CAUTION
Be sure you donÕt use an IP address or any valid hostname to name the
SmartSwitch 9000 chassis glyph: if you use an IP or a valid hostname,
SPMA will try to contact a device using that name, and will deny you access
to the chassis Hub View if it receives no response.
