Depending how large your organization is, deploy a standardized port description for (IFALAIS) and automate the collection, and it's rules.

From: Schneider Christian [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 01 February 2016 15:35 To: spectrum Subject: [spectrum] Not interested in Port-down alarms where Servers are connected Hi, I know we had this in the past but did not find my notes on that. Here is the challenge: Many many switches and routers in the Landscape which produce link-down alarms if the connected server on a switch-port is going down. As we are running the network, we are not interested if the server guys are playing around with the servers and would like to not getting a link-down alarm. Any hints?
