Avidia System Configuration and Management User Manual 69
AVIDIA ALARM MANAGER
An Alarm Manager stores all the alarm information for the entire system. The alarm manager is
stored on the management card, however each individual card installed in the system also stores
alarm information for its own ports. If you replace the management card, the new management
card retrieves the current alarm information from the individual cards to build a new alarm
database.
CONFIGURING AVIDIA SYSTEM INFORMATION
To enable access to the Avidia Web Interface, you must first configure the management card IP
address and subnet mask using the command-line interface. To simplify network management,
you should also configure:
system identification information
trap generation
boot file information
system date and time
default gateway
trap receivers
community strings (only configurable using the command-line interface)
