3 • Configuring Alarms and Clocking

 

 

Introduction

Before you can receive alarm indications, you must first configure the alarms and clocking for the NMS. When you discover your network for the first time, there will be alarms because the synchronization clocking has not been fully configured yet.

Configuring the Alarm Trap Manager

In order to configure alarms, you need to configure the IP address of the NMS server which traps the alarm reports from each of the cards in the network. By default, the Alarm Trap IP address is 0.0.0.0, so no alarms are detected by the NMS.

You can configure the Alarm Trap Manager in two different ways, by right-clicking on a network node in the Geographical Areas section, or by right-clicking on a card in the Chassis section.

Configuring Alarms through the Network Node

To configure the IP address for the Alarm Trap field for each card:

1.From the menu tree on the left side of the screen, select the Geographical Area for the node that you want to configure.

2.In the main window, right-click on the Network Node, then select Alarm Trap Manager.

The Configure Alarm Trap Manager window dispalys. You may configure the Alarm Trap Manager for any particular card in the chassis’ subnet or you can configure all of the cards in the subnet at once.

3.Select the card that you would like to configure from the Select Card drop-down menu. If you would like to configure all of the cards at the same time, select the Configure All Cards checkbox at the bottom of the screen.

4.Enter the IP address of the NMS server in the Alarm Trap Manager 1 field.
