Paradyne 9123 manual Adding SLV Alarms Using a Template

Setting Up NetScout Manager Plus for FrameSaver Devices

Adding SLV Alarms Using a Template

For FrameSaver units with the SLV and SLM Reporting feature set, once DLCIs have been discovered, SLV alarms should be configured and assigned to each DLCI. OpenLane provides a template for configuring alarms. DLCI alarms can be configured manually, but using the Paradyne alarm defaults template greatly reduces configuration time.

The following alarms are configured for each DLCI included in the Paradyne MIB:

Ð Frames Sent (SLVFramesSnt)	Ð Rx DLCI Utilization (SLVrxDLCIUtil)
Ð Tx CIR Utilization (SLVTxCIRUtil)	Ð Frames Sent Above CIR
	(SLVFramesTxAbvCIR)
Ð Tx DLCI Utilization (SLVTxDLCIUtil)	Ð Average Latency (AverageLatency)
Ð Frames Received (SLVFramesRec)	Ð Current Latency (CurrentLatency)

These alarms and current values can be found in $NSHOME/usr/slvtemplate.fct, which is used as a starting point for loading new alarms. This file can be copied and edited so the alarm threshold values match service level agreement values. The copied .fct file can then be used to replicate alarm threshold values for all DLCIs on the unit using the eztrap utility. All .fct files must be in $NSHOME/usr.

To configure alarms manually, see Adding SLV Alarms Manually.

NOTE:

Perl must be installed in your system to use the eztrap utility in the procedure below. If you have an NT system, please install Perl before proceeding.

"Procedure

1.Open a terminal window and go to $NSHOME/usr.

2.Type eztrap -ifilename.fct -oagentname.fct agentname and press Enter to run the eztrap utility to create alarm threshold values across all DLCIs for the copied .fct file.

The message eztrap done appears when the .fct file is transferred.

3.From the NetScout Manager Plus main window, with the FrameRelay and Admin radio buttons still selected, click on the Config Manager icon to open the Configuration Manager main window.

4.Edit any alarm values that need to be changed.

5.Select the Install button (down the center of the Configuration Manager main window) to load alarms for the unit. This may take some time, so please be patient.

See Editing Alarms if any default settings need to be changed.
