Review and Summary

The following section includes exercises and questions to help you review what you have learned in this chapter.

Review Exercises

Complete the following exercises using the skills you learned in this chapter.

1. Modify this chapter's multi-alarm behavior model so that it notifies you whenever three nodes on your network are experiencing high traffic. Some of the actions you will take include:
   1. Modifying the 1BusyNode alarm so that, as it transitions into 4PortsBusy, rather than paging you it fires the trigger nodeTooBusy
   2. Creating a new alarm called 1BusyEnterprise
   3. Setting the Scope of the new alarm to Enterprise
   4. Adding three states, 1NodeBusy, 2NodesBusy, 3NodesBusy
   5. Adding the following transitions:

      Ground --> nodeTooBusy --> 1NodeBusy

      1NodeBusy --> nodeTooBusy --> 2NodesBusy

      2NodesBusy --> nodeTooBusy --> 3NodesBusy

   6. Adding to the last transition an appropriate action to notify you of the high traffic on your network
2. Modify the alarms 1BusyNode and 1BusyEnterprise to be reset in the event that a node returns to normal traffic conditions.
