Configuring a Timeout for Trap Generation (CLI)
You can configure a wait time of up to 120 seconds after an alarm is cleared in the system before the alarm is
actually reported as being cleared. This prevents traps flooding the NMS in the event that some external condition
causes the alarm to be raised and cleared continuously.
This means that when the alarm is cleared, the alarm continues to be displayed and no clear alarm trap is sent until
the timeout period is finished.
The timeout for trap generation can be configured via CLI. By default, the timeout is 10 seconds.
Note
If the unit is upgraded from an earlier version to System Release 10.0 or higher, the timeout retains
its previous value until it is changed. That means if it was never configured, it retains its previous
default value of 0. If the unit is set to its factory default configuration, the timeout is set to 10
seconds.
To configure the timeout (in seconds) for trap generation, enter the following command in root view:
root> platform status alarm-management alarm-stabilization-set time <0-120>
To disable the timeout for trap generation, enter the following command in root view:
root> platform status alarm-management alarm-stabilization-set time 0
To display the current trap generation timeout, enter the following command in root view:
root> platform status alarm-management alarm-stabilization-show
The following command sets a trap generation timeout of 60 seconds:
root> platform status alarm-management alarm-stabilization-set time 60
