1.3.6.1.2.1.2.1.10.1), or a node name like ifInOctets.1. Only variables that can be parsed into
INTEGER (INTEGER, Counter, Gauge, or Time Ticks) in the ASN.1 can be used for the alarm-variable
argument, such as the instance of the leaf node (like etherStatsOctets, etherStatsPkts,
etherStatsBroadcastPkts, and so on) of the etherStatsEntry entry, the instance of the leaf node (like
ifInOctets, ifInUcastPkts, ifInNUcastPkts, and so on) of the ifEntry entry.
sampling-interval: Sampling interval, in the range 5 to 65,535 seconds.
absolute: Sets the sampling type to absolute, namely, the system obtains the value of the variable
when the sampling time is reached.
delta: Sets the sampling type to delta, namely, the system obtains the variation value of the variable
during the sampling interval when the sampling time is reached.
rising-threshold threshold-value1 event-entry1: Sets the rising threshold, where threshold-value1
represents the rising threshold, in the range –2,147,483,648 to +2,147,483,647, and event-entry1
represents the index of the event triggered when the rising threshold is reached. event-entry1 ranges
from 0 to 65,535, with 0 meaning no corresponding event is triggered and no event action is taken
when an alarm is triggered.
falling-threshold threshold-value2 event-entry2: Sets the falling threshold, where threshold-value2
represents the falling threshold, in the range –2,147,483,648 to +2,147,483,647 and event-entry2
represents the index of the event triggered when the falling threshold is reached. event-entry2 ranges
from 1 to 65,535.
owner text: Owner of the entry, a string of 1 to 127 characters. It is case sensitive and space is
supported.
Description
Use the rmon alarm command to create an entry in the RMON alarm table.
Use the undo rmon alarm command to remove a specified entry from the RMON alarm table.
This command defines an alarm entry, so as to trigger the specified event when abnormity occurs. The
event defines how to deal with the abnormity.
The following is how the system handles alarm entries:
1) Samples the alarm variables at the specified interval.
2) Compares the sampled values with the predefined threshold and does the following:
If the rising threshold is reached, triggers the event specified by the event-entry1 argument.
If the falling threshold is reached, triggers the event specified by the event-entry2 argument.
Before creating an alarm entry, define the events to be referenced in the event table with the
rmon event command.
When you create an entry, if the values of the specified alarm variable (alarm-variable), sampling
interval (sampling-interval), sampling type (absolute or delta), rising threshold (threshold-value1)
and falling threshold (threshold-value2) are identical to those of the existing alarm entry, the
system considers their configurations are the same and the creation fails.
You can create up to 60 alarm entries.
