Defining RMON Events Control

You can control the occurrences that trigger an alarm and the type of notification
that occurs. This is performed as follows:
• Events Page—Configures what happens when an alarm is triggered. This
can be any combination of logs and traps.
• Alarms Page—Configures the occurrences that trigger an alarm.
To define RMON events:
Click Status and Statistics > RMON > Events.
This page displays previously defined events.
Click Add.
Enter the parameters.
• Event Entry—Displays the event entry index number for the new entry.
• Community—Enter the SNMP community string to be included when traps
are sent (optional). Note that the community must be defined using the

Management Station.
• Description—Enter a name for the event. This name is used in the Add
RMON Alarm page to attach an alarm to an event.
• Notification Type—Select the type of action that results from this event.
Values are:
- None—No action occurs when the alarm goes off.
- Log (Event Log Table)—Add a log entry to the Event Log table when the
alarm is triggered.
- Trap (SNMP Manager and SYSLOG Server)—Send a trap to the remote
log server when the alarm goes off.
- Log and Trap—Add a log entry to the Event Log table and send a trap to
the remote log server when the alarm goes off.
• Time—Displays the time of the event. (This is a read-only table in the parent
window and cannot be defined).
• Owner—Enter the device or user that defined the event.
