Alarms
When an alarm condition is found to be true, that level is checked
against the current alarm level for the attribute. If there is no change,
then no further action is taken.
Figure 15: Alarm Monitoring Algorithm
Only if a new alarm level is detected is there a change in the alarm
level reported. This automatically clears alarms when conditions
return to the “Normal” level.
If an alarm level changes, the current alarm level is set and propagated
up the network hierarchy as needed.
Notifications
All alarms provide indicators for informational purposes that you can
check on a routine basis. The NMS is pre-configured with a default set
of alarms and notification settings. You can easily customize these
settings to reflect your company’s network monitoring methodology.
