2.2 Alarm Forwarding Key Features

The key features of Alarm Forwarding include

  • A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent compliant with ITU x721, X733.
  • Acknowledge/Terminate capability from SNMP.

  • For an alarm event, only one email is sent to a selective list of email addresses. Alarm Forwarding allows a list of email addresses to be attached to a filter. It is possible to send a particular type of alarm to a list of email addresses and another type of alarm to a different list of email addresses. These multiple email address are set when creating a filter and editing a filter.

    Each alarm is evaluated against each filter. The same alarm can pass different filter conditions and be sent to different destinations. If the same alarm passes different filters and is forwarded using SNMP in each of those filters, the alarm is sent only once since Alarm Forwarding detects this condition and SNMP has only one destination.

Refer to Alarm Forwarding MIB for additional information.
