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 devices which support the Cabletron-proprietary Actions MIB, an Actions
button displays 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 Apply to set your changes. 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 Cancel to close the window.
Adding Actions to an Event
For devices which support the Cabletron-proprietary Actions MIB, selecting the
Actions 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 actions to an event:
1. In the Create/Edit Events window, click on the Actions button. The
Create/Edit Actions window, Figure 3-6 (following page), opens.
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.
NOTE
If no Actions button appears in the Create/Edit Events window, the selected RMON
device does not support the Actions MIB. For more information about devices which
support this MIB, contact the Global Technical Assistance Center.
