Alarm Configuration

a.If you know the exact name of the OID value you wish to track (including its capitalization), simply enter the name in the Variable field; to verify that you have entered the name correctly, click on the Find->button to move the MIB Tree display to that OID. (If MIB Tree display does not adjust to show the OID you’ve entered, you’ve entered the name incorrectly; remember, case does count!)

b.Use the scroll bars and click to open the appropriate folders in the MIB Tree display to locate the object you wish to use; click to select it in the panel, and its name will automatically be entered in the Variable field.

If you select an invalid OID — that is, one which does not permit write access — the

TIP message !!Can’t set action on this type!! will be displayed in the Variable field.

If you don’t know the exact spelling of the OID you wish to use for your alarm variable, and you can’t find it by searching through the tree, use the MIB Tools utility’s Find feature to locate the OID and determine its exact spelling (and tree location). For more information on the MIB Tools utility and its Find capabilities, see the Tools Guide.

5.Once you have selected the object you wish to set, you must assign the appropriate instance value in the Instance field. If you’re not sure how the object you wish to set is instanced, you can use the MIB Tools utility (described in the Tools Guide) to query it; all available instances for the object will be displayed.

6.In the Value field, enter the value you wish to set for the selected object. Again, if you’re not sure what the valid values are for the variable you wish to set, locate the object in the MIB Tools utility and use the Details tab to obtain more information.

7.Once you’ve configured your action, click on the Add button; the action will be added to the Action Table list in the lower left corner of the window. Note that the window remains open so that you may configure additional new actions or modify existing ones; selecting on any action in the Action Table will display that action’s parameters in the window and make them available for editing. When you have finished configuring your actions, click on the Cancel button to close the window.

Note that the Action Table will update automatically each time an action is added or deleted; use the Refresh button to update the table at any time.
