I believe traps for port up/down would be enable by default on switch.

Could you please let us know which specific alarms you are looking at?

You might want to check whether the switch has Netsight set as a trap receiver and the correct community is choosen.

So in the Netsight Console device tree right click on the switch and select "Trap Receiver Configuration" and Apply the settings to the device if there is no trap destination set / or the wrong community.

What I look for is a similar set Epicenter option, give me the option to choose specific ports on a switch.
As shown in attached image

So if you want only specific ports one way (could be that there is another one) is to create a port group.
In Netsight Console in the device tree right click on "my Network" and choose "add device group" and for this example let's name it "PortGroup1".
Then click on the switch that you want to add ports from and in the ïnterface summary" select all the ports that you want in your alarm group.
i.e. I've selected ports ge.1.1-12

Then right click on the ports that you've selected and click "add port elements to group" and select the PortGroup1.

The next step is to configure the Alarm Manager to only report a link down of PortGroup1.
So go to the Alarm Manager and select "link down" in the Alarm table.
On the bottom of the window in the "Additional Criteria" section click on Device Groups and select PortGroup1.

As I've mentioned before make sure that the trap receiver is set correcty so the switch forwards the traps to Netsight.

In my lab with my G&D series switches it worked so I hope that is the same with the X series.

You'd change that behavior in the Netsight options so all request are done from Netsight and not from your local client.

Netsight Console > Tools > Options > Suite Options > Client Connections > SNMP redirection > Redirect Client/Server SNMP Communications

@Ron,

I found one filed to create email sender and receiver email and i created the correct alert, however when i tri "disable ports x and enable ports x" the X port are present in the group... I was unable to receiver the email 😞

I must create other configuration before?

i tried:

set mail config put my credentials email and smtp server domain;
action table "edit email list" and add email receivers
enable alarm of course...
other options "select alarm" option Link up

Let's make sure that your email settings are correct... just click on the "test email action" button in the alarm settings to send a test mail.

@Ron,

I got it receive this message bellow with your test advice...

Conditions: IP: $ipaddress MAC: $macaddress However continue without message when ports goes down.

So,

I have more than 10 ports in the same group, are my trunk and uplink ports the software consider just if all ports goes down or not?

RE: create a port specific alarm in netsight

Responding to my brother...

Even having a "trunk" doors, the NetSight will monitor each port individually.

Example here:
# enable sharing 1:24 grouping 1:24 2:24 algorithm address-based L2

If the status of the door (2:24) was changed to down, the Alarm "Link down" will indicate the fall of the door. The same goes for the door 1:24

But...

We are trying to monitor only the uplink ports of Extreme switches park (all x440 - XOS 15.7.1.4).

Without the Port Elements Group, the Alarm "Link down" and "Link Up" detect the status of the ports and generate Alarms, but with the Port Elements Group on any port, generates no Alarm.

Netsight 6.2 here.

EDIT:
complementing ... during testing, the NetSight records the fall of the link in the syslog and trap
