How can I suppress this?

Environment

Release : 12.2

Component : CA NetMaster Network Management for TCP/IP

Resolution

The alert is for a network interface, dynamically generated in conjunction with IPv6, that is not being used.
The only way to suppress the alert is to update the alert values for the attribute in that individual device.

-->In /IPMON, select the stack with WI (Workload Interface performance)
   --> go the the interface generating the alert and select the attribute
       with UA (Update Alert)
      --> Change the alert values to something that will never trigger.
          Example:
           Alert when value            Sev  Alert Description    
            is = NOTHING                3              
            or =          
            or =     
            or =     
          or NOT          
          Clear Alert when value is   
                             or NOT NOTHING 

This will prevent further alerts from occurring.
