Alert for BPDUGUARD / Ports in ErrDisable

kknuckles

I hope that this hasn't been asked before and if so, I apologize in advance. We are evaluating Orion NPM and I've been working with the alerts. I am curious if there is a way to have an alert triggered when a port goes into ErrDisable. We have BPDUGuard enabled on all ports with the exception of some that have devices which require it to be turned off. I'd like to be alerted when the port goes into ErrDisable so I can address policy violations with the employee who plugged in a piece of equipment that shouldn't be there.

 

Thanks,

 

Kevin

This might be a little late, since you were evaluating this back in July. Currently, if you didnt find it already,  you cannot used Orion Advanced Alerting to alert you on those problems. You can, however, use the Syslog/Trap alert engine that comes with Orion. Not the best of solutions, but its there.
