Alerts
Alerts are, essentially, events that you can act on. NIM-related alerts are separated into the
following categories:
■ ProCurve NBAD Services Alerts—defines all alerts that the NBAD engine creates
■ ProCurve Wired Alerts—defines all alerts created from security-related SNMP traps that
ProCurve switches generate
■ ProCurve Wireless Alerts—defines all alerts created from security-related SNMP traps
that ProCurve wireless devices generate
■ ProCurve Security Devices Alerts—defines alerts created from SNMP traps that
ProCurve security devices, such as the TMS zl Module, generate
■ Non-ProCurve Security Devices Alerts—defines all security-related SNMP traps that
supported third-party devices generate
NIM includes some predefined alerts for each category, as shown in the figure below.
