To configure the dying gasp alarm on an OmniSwitch

Before you begin

Perform the following procedure to configure the dying gasp alarm on supporting OmniSwitch NEs.

Note: To view the dying gasp alarm on the NFM-P, the OmniSwitch NE must be managed using SNMP v2 with the community string set to public.

Steps
 

On the equipment tree, right-click on a supported OmniSwitch icon and choose NE Sessions→Telnet Session. The Telnet Session window opens.


Perform Step 5 of To commission an OmniSwitch for NFM-P management to configure the NE to be managed using SNMP v2 with a community string configured to public.

Note: If the Backup/Primary power supply fails, a major alarm will be raised. This alarm will be sent only to the first two SNMP stations configured on the NE. “Show snmp station” lists the management station address. NFM-P ip should be first or second.

The "Loopback 0" address should not be used for the source IP address field on the NE.
