Title: How to configure Alarm Management on a Ruijie switch?
IIntroduction

Network device faults cause exceptions of services.When a fault occurs, you need to locate the fault quickly and troubleshoot it.An alarm is a notification generated by a device when a fault is detected. Checking an alarm with faulty information is one of the most effective ways to locate the fault.

As the network grows in size and complexity, the failure of a service module may cause a large number of alarms. If all alarms are sent to the network management server or recorded and output through Syslog, system resources will be consumed and effective fault information cannot be collected.

You can manage the statistics and reports of alarmsand events by the alarm management function. The alarms will be more effective and accurate, which helps a network manager to locate and troubleshoot fault sefficiently.

The alarm masking function masks alarms that users are not interested in helping them quickly obtain valuable fault information.
The alarm suppression function controls the number of flapping alarms reported within a short period of time, and filters unstable alarms, to ensure that theuser receives effective alarm information.

II Requirements

Network administrators can obtain timely and effective device fault information so as to locate faults efficiently.

Hi,
I think is missing the command for configuration of the alarm suppression function as is written only "enable"

Best Regards
