Prime infrastructure 2.0 and snmp link-status issues

graham.patton · ‎01-30-2015

Hi,

We have prime infrastructure 2.0, I'm currently tasked with provisioning the alarm because we're receiving hundreds if not thousands of alarms each day from none interesting edge ports, as people come and go SNMP link-up/Link-down are been sent to Prime.

To stop this I've gone on to each interface and stated "no snmp trap link-status" & no logging event link status". in addition I've disabled the sending of syslog messages as snmp traps with the " no snmp trap enable syslog" global command. I've verified that syslogs have stopped send via the show logging history command.

After doing this I'm still receiving alarms for the indivual interfaces as they go up/down!!!

Can anyone help me out with this, or has anyone come accross the same problem?

Thanks

Hi Graham,

What settings do you have checked when you navigate to here?

Operate > Alarms & Events > Email Notification

Also you can define within your network what the level of alarming should be through navigation to here:

Administration > System Settings > Severity Configuration

It doesn't take much to become overburdened by alarms from Prime, I set only a couple of parameters as critical for switch and router state, and set to receive emails from those at this time.

Brandon,

thanks for for you reply. I've not changed the level of the alarms. I'm looking to prevent the alarms being generated I still want to receive critical alarm when the trunks and/or wap ports go down.

Graham,

There is another suggestion that you can follow that was posted in this thread which addresses the same concerns you are looking at.

To work around the base settings through Prime you have to create port groups and set specific descriptions for the ports that you are interested in. Hope that helps you.
