LOCAL MANAGEMENT

The “station added” trap message includes the new station’s
MAC address so that you can decide if the new station should
be allowed on the ring.
To add multiple users to the ring, temporarily disable ring
security using the Disable mode, then select the Alarm Only
mode to re-enable ring security. Ring Security stores the MAC
address of each station on the ring to the allowed list. This
saves you from entering MAC addresses one at time using the
Stn Edit command. Refer to “Building the Allowed List” for
instructions.
• Alarm/Remove - This is the highest level of ring security.
When in the Alarm/Remove mode, ring security sends a
“Remove MAC Frame Command” to new stations attempting to
enter the ring, and a trap/alarm to the NMS informing it of the
action taken. The “Remove MAC Frame Command” tries to
automatically remove the station from the ring. If it cannot
remove the station from the ring after three attempts, it sends
a trap/alarm to the NMS informing it that “the station could
not be removed.”
