Managing events
Having determined what the problem is, the operator would double-click on the Blade: Main Clock Fail: Active
error to display the Event Sub Window (see
figure 14
), check the ACK box to show that the problem has been
acknowledged, and write a short comment describing what was done about the event (in this case, technical
services was called).

Technical services repairs the problem by rebooting the node, at which point the node sends a trap message of
informational severity (see event 26 in
figure 15
) stating that the node is Rebooting System. This message is fol-
lowed by event 27: Blade: Main Clock Fail: Inactive, meaning the clock failure has been resolved.
Event 28, Box State Change to Clear, clears away the major event condition, so the ForeSight 6100 changes
the Lab-2 node’s icons and text labels to green, signifying that the node is again operating normally (see
figure 11
on page 22).
