Figure 30. Output from Show Community Command

You can clear entries from the community table using the following command:

8260A> clear community index

Where index is the number of the entry as shown in Figure 30.

DMM sends alerts (traps) when certain events occur. You can use the SET ALERT command to enable/disable specific alert features. These alert features are:

Authentication

DMM sends an alert when an unauthorized access is attempted to DMM using SNMP. You can enable DMM to send authentication traps using the following command:

8260A> set alert authentication enable

Change

Any configuration change made in the hub results in DMM sending an alert. You can enable DMM to send change traps using the following command:

8260A> set alert change enable

Hello

When DMM is activated, it sends one Hello trap every minute, 255 times until a valid SNMP message is received. You can enable DMM to send Hello traps using the following command:

8260A> set alert hello enable

Console_display

Allows you to enable trap display on the local console attached to DMM. You can enable DMM to display traps on the local console using the following command:

8260A> set alert console_display enable

Port_filter

Allows you to filter out unwanted port up/down messages on the local console. To set the port_filter alert you can use the following command:
