Enterasys Networks 6000, Matrix E7 manual To access the port-level Trap Selection window

Managing Ethernet MicroLAN Modules

At the repeater or board level, a three-state check box indicates the state of settings for all ports that are on the repeated network.

The check box will be:

Grayed – If individual port-level settings have mixed enabled and disabled states for a given trap.

Checked – If all port trap settings are enabled for a given trap.

Blank – if all port trap settings are disabled for a given trap.

Figure 5-10. Repeater Trap Selection Window

To access the board-level Trap Selection window:

1.Click on the appropriate Module Index to display the Module menu.

2.Drag down to select the appropriate repeater channel (A - H), then right to reveal the board-level Repeater menu.

3.Select Trap Selection. The Board Trap Selection window will appear.

To access the port-level Trap Selection window:

1.Click on the appropriate Port index to display the Port menu.

2.Select Trap Selection. The Port Trap Selection window will appear.

The Board Trap Selection window is similar to the Repeater Trap Selection window displayed in Figure 5-10, and serves the same function (since, for the Ethernet MicroLAN module, a “board” is the equivalent of a repeater channel). If all port-level trap settings are uniform at the current level of device management (i.e., a given trap is either set to enabled or disabled for all ports on a repeated network segment), the check box for a given trap will return with an enabled or disabled state, as appropriate. If port-level trap settings are mixed at the current level of management (i.e., a given trap is enabled at some ports and disabled at other ports on the selected repeater channel), the check box for a given trap will be grayed, as illustrated above for Link State traps.

When you are changing trap settings at the Repeater or Board level, a check box that is left gray for a given trap is treated as a “No SET” indicator, so that the current settings at the individual port level with respect to that trap will not be overridden when you are changing other trap settings.

The Port Trap Selection window is similar to the other Trap Selection windows; however the gray mixed-mode will never appear when you first open the window (since at the port-level, a given trap can only be either enabled or disabled – not some combination of the two).
