    Launching the DELHW-UA Device View Window The DELHW-UA Device View window is the main screen that immediately informs you of the current condition of individual ports on your switch via a graphical display. The Device View window also serves as a single point of access to all other DELHW-UA windows and screens, which are discussed throughout this manual.

    Through the RMON Alarm and Event functionality supported by your MultiSwitch 700 module, you can configure alarms and events (and, where appropriate, actions) for each available interface. The Alarm, Event, and Actions windows described in this chapter are identical to those provided via the RMON utility.

    As long as there is at least one Ethernet or Fast Ethernet module installed in your MultiSwitch 700 chassis, you can use the RMON Alarms feature to configure alarms for MIB objects on FDDI, ATM, and other interfaces that don’t specifically support RMON: the Basic Alarms window provides MIB II objects as alarm variables;...

    The Basic Alarm Configuration window combines the three parts of creating a working alarm — configuring the alarm itself, configuring an event that will announce the occurrence of an alarm (including assigning any actions), and linking the two — into a single step, and handles the details transparently.

  • Page 123 Select Send Trap if you want your device to issue a trap in response to each alarm occurrence. In order for the trap selection to work properly, your MultiSwitch 700 module must be configured to send traps to your network management station.
