Link Incident Alerts
A link incident is a problem detected on a fiber optic link, like the loss of light,
invalid sequences, and other problems. When a problem occurs, a LIN alert is sent
to the Link Incident Log in the switch Element Manager. LIN alerts warn you that
there is a link incident being detected through a port connection that may require
operator intervention to correct.
If LIN alerts are enabled for a port in the Configure Ports dialog box, a yellow
triangle (attention indicator) displays by the port connector in the Hardware View
or in the Alert column in the Port List View. Double-clicking the port with the
yellow triangle displays the Port Properties dialog box.
If LIN alerts have been enabled for a port in the Configure Ports dialog box, the
Port Properties dialog box contains a short description of the latest incident in the
Link Incident field. Or, if there are no active incidents,
None displays. The
system writes all link incidents to the Link Incident Log.
If you enable LIN alerts for a port in the Configure Ports dialog box, configure
e-mail notification through HAFM, and enable E-Mail Notification through the
Maintenance menu, you will receive e-mail notification of LIN alerts.
Note: The e-mail notification of LIN alerts is available to all users; no user permission
levels are imposed.
Although you can manually clear the attention indicator in the Hardware View and
the alert description in the Port Properties dialog box, they may also be cleared by
actions outside of your control, such as on HAFM appliance reboot.
You can manually clear the link incident indicator in the Hardware View and the
description in the Link Incident field. To manually clear the attention indicator
(yellow triangle), right-click the port with the yellow triangle and click Clear
Link Incident Alert(s). In the Clear Link Incident Alert(s) dialog box, choose the
appropriate option and click OK.
Be aware that clearing the incident indicator clears it for everyone using the
system. If there are no link incident alerts enabled for a port, no actions occur.
