Enabling Security and Traps 6-13
Security
Repeater-level Security and Traps
Locking ports at the repeater, or channel, level applies all applicable security (as
configured via the Port Security window) to every port on the channel.
To enable or disable security and traps for all ports on a repeater:
1. In the Repeater Security window, click mouse button 1 on the repeater
interface for which you would like to configure port locking and/or traps.
2. Click mouse button 1 on ; the Channel A Security window,
Figure 6-5 , will appear. Note that the current repeater-level settings are
displayed immediately to the right of the field names; a repeater whose ports
have different Security Mode or Trap settings will display a status of
“Mismatch.”
NOTES
Enabling and disabling locking from the Source Address application (described in
Chapter 4) will implement all applicable security features as they have been configured via
the port-level Security window. Note that locking ports from the Source Address window
implements Full lock status by default; however, this will not override the status of any
ports which have already been set to Continuous lock mode.
Enabling and disabling traps from the Source Address window also has the same effect as
enabling or disabling them from the Security application. Keep in mind, however, that
SPMA does not accept the trap messages; that task is left to your network management
system. (See the appropriate network management system documentation for details about
viewing trap messages.) Note, too, that no traps will be sent by the SEHI unless its trap
table has been properly configured; see the SEHI hardware manual and/or the Trap Table
chapter in the SPMA Tools Guide for more information.
NOTE
If you select a repeater whose ports have different security capabilities, you may still be
able to select and apply security states which are not applicable to all ports. Applying
these kinds of settings will have no adverse affect on your network devices: those ports
which can accept the set will do so; those which cannot will either ignore the set or issue a
Set Failed.
