ABSTRACT:
A network hub responds to network problems by generating traps in conformance with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). In generating a trap, the hub includes a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) as a text string incorporated in the trap. The network hub incorporates a server conforming to the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) used by the World Wide Web. The server has its own home page and the URL incorporated in the trap points to a subpage of that home page. When a network management station receives the trap, the URL is displayed as a hypertext link. When the link is “clicked”, a web browser is activated and is pointed to the URL so that an HTTP “get” command is transmitted. When the hub receives the “get” command, it responds by generating the requested subpage. The subpage is presented as a World Wide Web page with a full presentation of data relating to the event triggering the trap. In addition, the subpage includes active elements (hypertext links, buttons, and/or menu items) that when activated initiate a course of action to address the detection of the network problem.
