Configure port status "up/down" alarm on netsight and EXOS switches?

Configure port status "up/down" alarm on netsight and EXOS switches?

I need to configure my switches and netsight to give an alarm every time a port state change.
It'd be amazing if I can configure different alarms with different names for different ports!
for example:
-port 1 - alarm1
-port 2 - alarm 2
and so...

Note: I am usin x440 series switches, and Netsight version 7

Hi Yusuf,

You are almost there, The trapreceiver with correct credentials needs to be pushed to the switch and then the "snmptrapd" file need a entry.

The two steps are mentioned in the below article.

Hi Yusuf,

Also please, configure and enable traps "port-up-down" on your switch.

enable snmp traps port-up-down ports[port_list| all]
