Conditions Causing Change of State

G3 Proxy Agent icons are in a certain state based on one of several events,
either the NMS polling the Proxy Agent or the Proxy Agent sending traps to
the NMS. The following events can change a G3 Proxy Agent icon's state:
The NMS polls the Proxy Agent for the g3connectAlarmForward object.
If the value is failed, then the icon's state is set to Critical. The default
polling interval for this object is five minutes.
The NMS polls the Proxy Agent for the smuxProxyName object. If it does
not contain a single value of g3mgt , then the icon's state is set to User2.
If the icon is in the User2 state and a later poll finds a single object
containing the value g3mgt , the state of the icon returns to Normal. The
default polling interval for this object is every five minutes.
The NMS polls the Proxy Agent for the sysDescr object to determine if
the Proxy Agent is responding. If the response indicates the object does
not exist or if there is no response, the state of the icon is set to User2. If
the icon is in the User2 state and a subsequent poll finds a valid
response, the state of the icon returns to Normal. The default polling
interval for the sysDescr object is five minutes.
You can configure the Proxy Agent to send an Authentication Failure
trap to the NMS when it receives an SNMP message with an incorrect
community string. When the NMS receives an Authentication Failure
trap, it changes the Proxy Agent icon's state to User1.
You can clear a Proxy Agent icon from the User1 state as follows:
1. At the appropriate map, select the Proxy Agent icon.
2. At the menu bar, select Monitor, DEFINITY, then Clear
Warning.
