|
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
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,
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.
