Configuring RMON Alarms and Events
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Add an event in the RMON event table that is
associated with an RMON event number.
For number, assign an event number. The range
•
is 1 to 65535.
(Optional) For description string, specify a
•
description of the event.
(Optional) Use the log keyword to generate an
•
RMON log entry when the event is triggered.
(Optional) For owner string, specify the owner
•
of this event.
(Optional) For trap community, enter the
•
SNMP community string used for this trap.
Set an alarm on a MIB object.
For number, specify the alarm number. The
•
range is 1 to 65535.
For variable, specify the MIB object to monitor.
•
For interval, specify the time in seconds that the
•
alarm monitors the MIB variable. The range is
1 to 2147483647 seconds.
Specify the absolute keyword to test each MIB
•
variable directly. Specify the delta keyword to
test the change between samples of a MIB
variable.
For value, specify a number at which the alarm
•
is triggered and a number at which the alarm is
reset. The range for the rising threshold and
falling threshold values is –2147483648 to
2147483647.
•
(Optional) For event-number, specify the event
number to trigger when the rising or falling
threshold exceeds its limit.
(Optional) For owner string, specify the owner
•
of the alarm.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries.
