Configure parameters for RMON alarms

RMON > Alarm
RMON alarms are used to generate alert messages when packet activity on designated
ports rises above or falls below specified threshold values. The alert messages can take
the form of messages that are entered in the event log on the switch or traps that are
sent to your SNMP NMS software or both.
RMON alarms consist of two thresholds. There is a rising threshold and a falling
threshold. The alarm is triggered if the value of the monitored RMON statistic of the
designated port exceeds the rising threshold. The response of the switch is to enter a
message in the event log, send an SNMP trap, or both. The alarm is reset if the value of
the monitored statistic drops below the falling threshold.
The frequency with which the switch samples the thresholds of an alarm against the
actual RMON statistic is controlled by a time interval parameter. You can adjust this
interval for each alarm.
Here are the three components that comprise RMON alarms:
• RMON statistics group: A port must have an RMON statistics group configured
if it is to have an alarm. When you create an alarm, you specify the port to
which it is to be assigned not by the port number, but rather by the ID number
of the port's statistics group.
• RMON event: An event specifies the action of the Switch when the ingress
packet activity on a port crosses a statistical threshold defined in an alarm. The
choices are to log a message in the event log of the Switch, send an SNMP trap
to an SNMP workstation, or both. Since there are only three possible actions
and since events can be used with more than one alarm, you probably will not
create more than three events.
• Alarm: The last component is the alarm itself. It defines the port statistic to be
monitored and the rising and falling thresholds that trigger the switch to
perform an event. The thresholds of an alarm can have the same event or
different events. The switch supports up to eight alarms.
