Basic Alarm Configuration 3-5
Alarm Configuration
IF Number
Displays the interface number assigned to each available interface.
IF Type
Displays each interfaceÕs type: FDDI, Ethernet, Token Ring, or ATM. Note that
there is no type distinction between standard Ethernet and Fast Ethernet.
Status
Displays the current status of the selected alarm type for each interface: Enabled
or Disabled. Remember, this status refers only to the alarm type which is selected
at the top of the window; each of the other two alarm types can have different
states.
Log/Trap
Indicates whether or not each alarm has been conÞgured to create a silent log of
event occurrences and the alarms that triggered them, and whether or not each
alarm has been conÞgured to issue a trap in response to a rising or falling alarm
condition. Possible values are log, trap, log&trap, or none.
Polling Interval
Displays the amount of time, in days, hours, minutes, and seconds, over which
the selected alarm variable will be sampled. At the end of the interval, the sample
value will be compared to both the rising and falling thresholds (described
below). You can set any interval up to 24,855 days.
Rising Threshold
Displays the high threshold value set for the selected alarm variable. Values used
to compare to the thresholds are relative, or delta values (the difference between
the value counted at the end of the current interval and the value counted at the
end of the previous interval); be sure to set your thresholds accordingly.
Rising Action
Indicates whether or not a rising alarm occurrence will initiate any actions in
response to the alarm condition: Enable if bridging will be enabled at the selected
interface in response to a rising alarm, Disable if bridging will be disabled at the
selected interface in response to a rising alarm, and None if no actions have been
conÞgured for the selected alarm. Note that the Action Þelds will be unavailable
for devices conÞgured to operate in SecureFast switching mode.
Falling Threshold
Displays the low threshold value set for the selected alarm variable. Values used
to compare to the thresholds are relative, or delta values (the difference between
the value counted at the end of the current interval and the value counted at the
end of the previous interval); be sure to set your thresholds accordingly.
