Hello,
in the Policy Manager xml file
"$specroot/PolicyMgmt/Spectrum/policy-settings-spectrum.xml you can find some
hints
The Port Fault Management Settings Template contains all attributes
that can be maintained by the Port Fault Management Policy.
PollPortStatus (0x1280a) - Controls status polling of a port
whose connectivity is not modelled.
Valid values are TRUE or FALSE.
ok_to_poll (0x11dd8) - Used to make the pipe associated with this
port "live". The status of the port will
be polled. Valid values are TRUE or FALSE.:
There are also some pre-defined policies, which explain this attributes a
little bit:
<!--
These settings enable port status monitoring using only
passive means. SPECTRUM will listen for Link Down traps
and generate alarms when needed. This is the most efficient,
yes least reliable, means of port status monitoring. This is
also the default SPECTRUM settings.
-->
<policy-settings name="Passive Port Monitoring">
<set-attr-value id="0x1280a" value="FALSE" />
<set-attr-value id="0x11dd8" value="FALSE" />
...
<!--
These settings enable port status moniting using Live Pipes.
This means that SPECTRUM will actively poll the status of
ports involved in modeled connections. User will see colored
pipes in all UI applications displaying the status of the
connection. We also enable trap-based monitoring for
expedited fault detection.
-->
<policy-settings name="Live Pipes">
<set-attr-value id="0x1280a" value="FALSE" />
<set-attr-value id="0x11dd8" value="TRUE" />
...
<!--
These settings enable port status moniting for ports whose
connectivity is not modeled in SPECTRUM.
This means that SPECTRUM will actively poll the status of
the port. We also enable trap-based monitoring for
expedited fault detection.
-->
<policy-settings name="Poll Unconnected Ports">
<set-attr-value id="0x1280a" value="TRUE" />
<set-attr-value id="0x11dd8" value="FALSE" />
...
Maybe this helps a little bit.
Regards

Betreff: [spectrum] PollPortStatus & OKtoPoll attributes
Greetings
We are bringing up a new Spectrum 0.2 environment and I have noticed what
appears to be some differences in the way port polling is controlled -
compared to older releases.
In the past - I could control port level polling with the attribute
OKtoPoll.
In 9.2, I see there is another attribute - PollPortStatus.
This value is defaulting to TRUE on many of my discovered devices/ports.
Even though OKtoPoll is FALSE - the ports are still polled.
Can someone please tell me what the precedence between these two attributes
are?
Also - If I set all ports on a device to PollPortStatus == FALSE and allow
my Policy to set OKtoPoll to TRUE for selected ports - will these ports be
polled for status or do I need to also set PollPortStatus in the policy?
Thanks
