Vlan Management; Alarm System - Extreme Networks Ridgeline Guide Manual

4 Select the connection you want Ridgeline to use, use the up and down arrow buttons at the right to
move it to the top of the list, then click OK.
5 Restart the Ridgeline server.

VLAN Management

Problem: Multiple VLANs have the same name.
A VLAN is defined by the name, its tag value, and its protocol filter definition. Ridgeline allows
multiple VLANs of the same name if one of the defining characteristics of one VLAN is different from
the other.
Problem: Multiple protocols have the same name.
Ridgeline allows multiple protocols of the same name if one of the defining characteristics of one
protocol is different from the other.
Problem: Can only access one of the IP addresses on a VLAN configured with a secondary IP
address.
Ridgeline does not currently support secondary IP addressing for a VLAN.

Alarm System

Problem: Device is in a fault state that should generate a trap or syslog message, and an alarm is
defined to detect it, but the alarm does not appear in the Ridgeline Alarm Log.
There are several possible reasons this can occur. Check the following:
Make sure that the alarm is defined and enabled.
●
Check that the device is in the alarm scope.
●
Check that SNMP traps are enabled on the device.
●
For a non-Extreme device, make sure you have set Ridgeline as a trap receiver on the device (see
●
Appendix B, "Configuring Devices for Use With
For an RMON alarm, make sure you have RMON enabled on the device.
●
For Syslog messages, make sure that you have the Ridgeline Syslog server enabled, and that remote
●
logging is enabled on the device with Ridgeline set as a Syslog receiver.
The number of traps being received by the Ridgeline server may exceed the number of traps it can
●
handle in a given time period, resulting in some traps being dropped (see the item on dropping
traps on page 304). You can change the limits for the number of traps the server should accept (per
minute and per 1/2 minute) in the Ridgeline Administration. See "Administering Ridgeline" in the
Ridgeline Reference Guide for more information on setting Ridgeline server properties.
Problem: The "Email to:" and "Short email to:" fields are greyed-out in the Actions tab of the New
Alarm Definition dialog.
You need to specify an e-mail server in order to send e-mail. Click the Settings... button next to the
Email to field to set up your mail server.
