Interface Up/Down Alarm Filter

The interface Up/Down alarm filter drops interface Up/Down alarms received from monitored devices and disables the system to create Up/Down alarms for selected interfaces. You can set up the filter for flapping interfaces or interfaces whose state changes are not a concern.

Operation Procedure

Approach 1: Setting the Interface Up/Down Alarm Filter for Interfaces in Bulk

1. Click the Resource tab, and then in the navigation tree click Resource Management > Batch Operation.
2. Click the Interface Up/Down Alarm Filter link.
3. Select interfaces and set the filter to permit or deny the Up/Down alarms of the interfaces or handle the alarms as per the system settings.
4. Click OK.

Approach 2: Setting the Interface Up/Down Alarm Filter Individually for Interfaces

1. Click the Interface List link on the device details page of a device, and click an interface on the displayed interface list.
2. Click the Up/Down Alarm Filter option in the Action pane.
3. Set the filter to permit or deny the Up/Down alarm of the interface or handle the alarms as per the system settings.

Precautions

• Apply items for interface include: System Settings, No Filter, and Filter.
• In addition to setting up the interface Up/Down alarm filter specific to interfaces, you can set up the filter globally. For an interface, if the system settings and the interface-specific setting conflicts, the interface-specific setting applies. If no interface-specific setting is available, the system settings are applied.
• When you click Cancel on a configuration page, it may not return to the previous page.
