I am trying to write an alarm rule to detect change of designated
router.
I am checking against the circuit characteristic DESIGNATED ROUTER NAME
when I put in a CHANGE OF expression such as REAROU,* or *,* I get a
message saying Data type unsupported.
Has anyone got an alarm rule they would like to share with me...8*)
This alarm is very important for our operation. I hope we can do it.

Hi,
The Alarms FM does not support either phase4address or phase4name data
type. The Designated Router Name and Address are phase4name and
phase4address respectively.
Another way to solve this problem would be to sink events from an end
host which has REAROU as its designated router (Note: it could be the
MCC host itself), looking for the circuit down event. This event will
occur every time there is a change in the designated router for that
area on a per area basis.
The benefit of doing it this way is that you can do this in real time
without any polling, thereby saving the polling cycles and management
data.
