Defining Rmon Alarms - Cisco Linksys SFE1000P Reference Manual

Defining RMON Alarms

The RMON Alarms Page contains fields for setting network alarms. Network alarms occur when a
network problem, or event, is detected. Rising and falling thresholds generate events.
The RMON Alarms Page contains the following fields:
• Alarm Entry — Indicates the alarm entry number.
• Counter Name — Displays the selected MIB variable.
• Interface — Displays the interface (port or LAG) for which RMON statistics are displayed.
The possible field values are:
– Port — Displays the RMON statistics for the selected port.
– LAG — Displays the RMON statistics for the selected LAG.
• Counter Value — Displays the current counter value for the particular alarm.
• Sample Type — Defines the sampling method for the selected variable and comparing the
value against the thresholds. The possible field values are:
– Delta — Subtracts the last sampled value from the current value. The difference in the
values is compared to the threshold.
– Absolute — Compares the values directly with the thresholds at the end of the sampling
interval.
