Link Down Error

Hello,

Bit of an Extreme novice but I have installed ridgeline to monitor our 50+ extreme XOS switches and im seeing a lot of alarms for "Link Down", there coming in very regularly and looking closer at the switches logs it seems be numerous ports and there running at odd speeds.

Is this just devices being turned on / off, if it is it seems to happening a bit too often or could there be an issue that's making a lot of the ports across my network go up and down and if so any pointers on how to fault find?

Thanks, Andrew

Hi Prusso,

I have created the port group already but it is not coming up as an option to apply in when I edit the Link Failed alarm definition. I only get a list of my switches.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Hello AnglicareTas

In order for them to show up in the alarm area you must first create the port group in the home screen after that then you can use them in the alarm section

Try that ans see if that helps.

Thanks

Hi Prusso,

I am in the same situation as aengland and I am trying to configure the link down alarm scope to only include our Uplinks port group.

When trying to limit the scope of the alarm I don't seem to have an option to limit to ports or port groups, just devices. Could you please let me know how I might accomplish this task?
