Cabletron Systems SEHI-22/24 Repeater-level Security and Traps, 6-13, Enabling Security and Traps

Security

NOTES

Enabling and disabling locking from the Source Address application (described in Chapter 4) will implement all applicable security features as they have been configured via the port-level Security window. Note that locking ports from the Source Address window implements Full lock status by default; however, this will not override the status of any ports which have already been set to Continuous lock mode.

Enabling and disabling traps from the Source Address window also has the same effect as enabling or disabling them from the Security application. Keep in mind, however, that SPMA does not accept the trap messages; that task is left to your network management system. (See the appropriate network management system documentation for details about viewing trap messages.) Note, too, that no traps will be sent by the SEHI unless its trap table has been properly configured; see the SEHI hardware manual and/or the Trap Table chapter in the SPMA Tools Guide for more information.

Repeater-level Security and Traps

Locking ports at the repeater, or channel, level applies all applicable security (as configured via the Port Security window) to every port on the channel.

NOTE

If you select a repeater whose ports have different security capabilities, you may still be able to select and apply security states which are not applicable to all ports. Applying these kinds of settings will have no adverse affect on your network devices: those ports which can accept the set will do so; those which cannot will either ignore the set or issue a Set Failed.

To enable or disable security and traps for all ports on a repeater:

1.In the Repeater Security window, click mouse button 1 on the repeater interface for which you would like to configure port locking and/or traps.

2.Click mouse button 1 on ; the Channel A Security window, Figure 6-5, will appear. Note that the current repeater-level settings are displayed immediately to the right of the field names; a repeater whose ports have different Security Mode or Trap settings will display a status of “Mismatch.”
