Alarm Trap IP 1 through 4 (alarmTrapIp0–alarmTrapIp3)
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap daemons are a tool for managing TCP/IP networks, they are
a simple method of alerting a management host of a problem with a device or application. The Alarm Trap IP
parameter is the IP address of a host running the SNMP trap daemon that will be receiving messages sent from the
6511RC. Upon the occurrence of an alarm, the 6511RC sends an SNMP trap message to the host system (or a
management station) defined by this parameter.
Note
The Alarm Trap IP requires that an IP address be entered. If you
do not
want
the 6511RC to send SNMP trap messages, entering an address of 0.0.0.0
disables SNMP trap message sending.
Temperature Threshold (boxAlarmTemperature)
An alarm message is generated when the internal box temperature exceeds this value in degrees Celsius. You can
change the threshold temperature, but we recommend using the factory default of 55° C.
Alarm Severity Configuration
This section describes configuring alarm severity levels. Clicking on Modify Severity (see
figure 11
on page 22)
displays the Alarm Severity Configuration window (see
figure 16
) listing of 6511RC alarms. From this window
you can assign the severity for each alarm (critical, major, minor, informational, or ignore).
Figure 16. Alarm Severity Configuration window
The alarms can be independently configured to generate alarm messages. Each alarm item can be set for one of
the following severity levels:
•
critical(4)
—When active, critical alarm notifications appear as red highlighting on the Home window (see
figure 6
on page 14) and as a flashing red star (see
figure 49
on page 98) on the System Status window (see
figure 48
on page 98).
•
major(5)
—When active, major alarm notifications appear as orange highlighting on the Home window (see
figure 6
on page 14) and as an orange exclamation mark (see
figure 49
on page 98) on the System Status window
(see
figure 48
on page 98).
