You can check for duplicate names to ensure that naming conventions are followed
and to help prevent confusion when you deal with customers or operations staff.
Procedure 14-20 uses ports as the objects to check for duplicate names.
Procedure 14-20 To check for duplicate port descriptions
Perform this procedure to check for duplicate object descriptions on all managed
devices. This procedure uses ports as an example. You can also check logical entity
names; for example, service or policy names. This procedure assumes that the
Description parameter uniquely identifies each port.
1 Choose Manage→Equipment→Equipment from the 5620 SAM main menu. The
Manage Equipment form appears.
2 Generate a list of all ports:
i Choose Port (Physical Equipment) from the drop-down menu.
ii Configure the filter for the Administrative State column to display devices
that are administratively up.
3 Click on the Description heading to list ports alphabetically by description.
4 Scan the list for duplicate names.
5 If you find a duplicate description, modify the description based on your naming
conventions.
i Select the port and click Properties. The Physical Port (Edit) form opens.
ii Configure the Description parameter to uniquely describe the port.
iii Save your changes and close the forms.
14.13 Configuring the OLC state of equipment or services
Daily maintenance operations that are performed on NEs can cause a large number
of alarms to be raised in the 5620 SAM. You can configure the OLC state on an
object or service to specify whether the object is in maintenance or in-service mode
to filter alarms in the alarm window.
Note — By default, ports are assigned a description based on the card
type when the Description parameter is not configured.
Note — Alarms are generated for objects and services regardless of
the Current OLC State parameter setting. The parameter setting is not
sent to the network objects or services.
