RingMaster Management Guide - Juniper Networks

Managing Alarms
Fault Management is a feature included in RingMaster to manage faults in a network. A fault is
reported as an alarm generated by a trap, rule, status, or threshold- exceeded event. This system
monitors traps from Trapeze and OEM devices. It monitors traps from third-party applications and
adds new trap support when necessary. The type of traps and their IP sources determine how new
traps correlate with existing traps.
Alarm Management
An alarm is generated by a trap, a network verification rule, a status or a threshold exceeded event.
There is a one or many to one mapping between faults and the traps/events. Besides monitoring traps
from Trapeze and OEM devices, RingMaster fault management provides standard traps and traps for
third party APs. An interface is provided for adding new trap support. These traps will be correlated
based on the type and the source IP only.
