You can administer Modular Messaging to perform alarm notification
via SNMP to specified NMSs.
Types of Modular Messaging alarm notifications include:
- Major alarms raised
- Major and Minor alarms raised
- Warning alarm raised (secondary NMSs only)
- Alarm resolved
There are two administration pages in Modular Messaging where you
can administer NMSs for alarm notification via SNMP:
- Alarm Management: The Alarm Management page
supports alarm notification via SNMP or modem. If you specify
SNMP as the alarm notification method, the NMS you specify as
the Network Management Station on the Alarm Management page is
referred to as the primary NMS. You can configure Modular Messaging
to accept an acknowledgement from the primary NMS. Only the following
types of alarms can be sent to the primary NMS:
- Major: Only major alarms.
- Minor: Both major and minor alarms.
To access the Alarm Management page, select Basic System
Administration > Alarming Administration from the
Messaging Administration main menu. For more information on fields,
click on the field names or click Help on the
web-based Alarm Management page.
- SNMP NMS Administration for Alarms: This page
allows you to administer additional NMSs to receive alarm notification.
Each NMS you administer on the SNMP NMS Administration for Alarms
page is referred to as a secondary NMS. Secondary NMSs
can receive varying levels of alarm and event notifications, but
cannot acknowledge receipt of alarms and events (unlike the primary
NMS, which can provide acknowledgement).You can administer secondary
NMSs even if you do not administer Alarm Management to send notification
via SNMP.
To administer secondary NMSs, start at the Messaging Administration
main menu, and then select Basic System Administration
> SNMP Administration > SNMP NMS Administration for Alarms.
The system displays the SNMP NMS Administration for Alarms page.
For more information on fields, click on the field names or
click Help on the web-based administration
page.
See Administering SNMP for more
information on the steps you must complete to administer NMSs
for alarms on the Modular Messaging system.
