EX3500 System Settings

About this task

An EX3500 management policy can be customized to include high and low alarm thresholds for EX3500 memory and CPU utilization.

The Memory and CPU rising and falling thresholds control when the EX3500 generates SNMP traps if these thresholds are exceeded. A trap is generated when the utilization exceeds the rising threshold, and another trap is generated after the utilization drops below the falling threshold. These thresholds do not protect the resource, they provide notification of an excessive use of the resource.

To administrate EX3500 management policy memory and CPU threshold settings:

Procedure

Go to Configuration > Management > EX3500 Management Policy.
The screen lists those EX3500 management policies created thus far. Select Add to create a new EX3500 management policy, Edit to modify an existing policy or Delete to remove an obsolete policy. Existing lists can be copied or renamed as needed.
Select the System tab.

Set the following Memory - Alarm Configuration threshold settings:


Falling Threshold	Set the threshold for clearing the EX3500 memory utilization alarm. Once the rising threshold is exceeded, the memory utilization must drop below this threshold for the alarm to clear. The threshold is set as a percentage from 1 - 100, with a default of 90.
Rising Threshold	Set the threshold for EX3500 memory utilization as too high. The threshold is set as a percentage from 1 - 100, with a default of 95.

Set the following CPU - Alarm Configuration threshold settings:


Falling Threshold	Set the threshold for clearing the EX3500 CPU (processor) utilization alarm. Once the rising threshold is exceeded, the CPU (processor) utilization must drop below this threshold for the alarm to clear. The threshold is set as a percentage from 1 - 100, with a default of 70.
Rising Threshold	Set the notification threshold for EX3500 CPU (processor) utilization as too high. The threshold is set as a percentage from 1 - 100, with a default of 90.

Select OK when completed to update the EX3500 system threshold settings. Select Reset to revert the screen back to its last saved configuration.
