About Alarm Actions

The greater the number of RMON sessions, the greater the burden
on the management resources of the stack. The forwarding
performance of the stack is not affected, however, with a large
number of RMON sessions, you may experience slow response times
from the web interface.
If you need the filter or capture groups or if you want to use
RMON II, the roving analysis port may be used to monitor traffic
from any port within the stack.
You can define up to 200 alarms for the stack. The events that you can
define for each alarm are shown in Table 7-2.
