Alarms and Notifications

Alarm serves as a mechanism to monitor the status of the system associated with events that range from errors, connection failures, exceptions and so on. Alarm configuration can be enabled on predefined set of events. If any of the alarm-enabled events occur in the system, an alarm is triggered. A threshold can be set for AP license usage, hardware events, and AP events; and when the usage breaches the defined threshold, an alarm is triggered. You can also enable email notification or SNMP notification to notify the user whenever an alarm is triggered.

  3. Email Notification Setting for Alarms
    Configuring email notification settings for alarms involves specifying Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) services such as Yahoo Mail, Gmail, or custom SMTP for sending email alerts. This setup streamlines the process of monitoring network conditions and ensures that key stakeholders are promptly informed of any issues requiring attention, thereby facilitating efficient network management and troubleshooting. You can specify recipient email addresses to which notifications need to be sent. You can enable notifications for all alarms, ensuring that any critical event triggers an immediate email alert to the designated recipients.
  4. SNMP Support for RND
    RUCKUS Network Director (RND) offers support for SNMP versions 2 and 3, providing essential capabilities for network monitoring and management. While SNMPv2 support enables RND to gather comprehensive data and metrics from network devices, enhancing visibility into network health and performance, SNMPv3 provides additional security features critical for sensitive operations.
