Changing the numerical values of notification methods

The numerical value of the notification method is the sum of the alarm matrix values; for example,
PortFencing-32, SnmpTrap-2, and Errlog-1 (32+2+1=35).
Table 33
TABLE 33
Notification method
Error log entry
SNMP trap
Rapi trap
Port log lock
E-mail notification
Port fencing
To determine the value for the event setting attribute that enables all desired notification methods,
add the values assigned to each method. For example, to enable SNMP trap, Rapi trap, and e-mail
notification, use the value 22, which is the sum of 2, 4, and 16.
Not all notification methods are valid for all areas. Every area has an associated valid alarm matrix,
which is the sum of all valid notification methods for that area. For example, an area with a valid
alarm matrix of 25 allows the error log entry (1), port log lock (8) and e-mail notification (16)
methods, but does not allow the SNMP trap (2) or Rapi trap (4) methods.
NOTE
An area with a valid alarm matrix of 31 allows all of the notification types.
