Advanced Alarm Configuration

Alarm Configuration
If you wish to modify an existing event, enter the appropriate index value,
or double-click on the event of interest in the Events Watch list (in the main
Alarm/Event window).
3.
Click in the Description text box to enter any text description you want to
identify the event. This description will appear in the Events Watch window
and help you distinguish among the events you have configured.
4.
Any value you enter in the Community field will be included in any trap
messages issued by your SmartSwitch 7000 when this event is triggered; this
value is also used to direct traps related to this event to the appropriate
management workstation(s):
a.
If you enter a value in this field, traps related to this event will only be
sent to the network management stations in the device’s trap table
which
have been assigned the same community name (and for which traps have
been enabled). Any IP addresses in the device’s trap table which have
not
been assigned the same community string, or which have been assigned
no community string, will not receive traps related to the alarm(s) you are
configuring.
b.
If you leave this field blank, traps related to this event will be sent to any
network management stations which have been added to the device’s
trap table, and for which traps have been enabled — regardless of
whether or not those IP addresses have been assigned a community
name in the Trap Table.
5.
You can use the Owner text box for administrative or informational purposes;
although the text entered here will not appear on any other screens, you may
want to use the network manager’s name or phone number, or the IP or MAC
address of the management workstation, to identify the owner of the event.
Since any workstation can access and change the events you are setting in
your RMON device, some owner identification can prevent events from being
altered or deleted accidentally. The default value provided is SPEL — <IP
address> <(hostname)> <date> <time>, where <IP address> and
<(hostname)> refer to the workstation that created the event and <date> and
<time> reflect the date and time of the event’s creation.
TIP
Remember, the only thing that determines whether you are modifying an existing event or
creating a new one is the assignment of the index number; be sure to assign this value
appropriately.
TIP
For more information about conÞguring your SmartSwitch 7000Õs Trap Table, consult
your Local Management documentation. (Remember, no traps will be sent by your 7C0x
at all unless its Trap Table has been properly conÞgured!)
