Understanding RMON events

RMON events and alarms work together to notify you when values in your
network go out of a specified range. When a value passes the specified range, the
alarm is triggered and "fires." The event specifies how the activity is recorded.
An event specifies whether a trap, a log, or a trap and a log will be generated to
view alarm activity. When RMON is globally enabled, two default events are
generated:
• RisingEvent
• FallingEvent
The default events specify that when an alarm goes out of range, both a trap and a
log track the "firing" of the alarm. For example, when an alarm fires at the rising
threshold, the rising event specifies that this information be sent to both a trap and
a log. Likewise, when an alarm passes the falling threshold, the falling event
specifies that this information be sent to a trap and a log.
