60 CHAPTER 7: STATUS MONITORING AND STATISTICS
When using the RMON features of the Switch, note the following:
■ After the default sessions are created, they have no special status. You
can delete or change them as required.
■ The greater the number of RMON sessions, the greater the burden on
the management resources of the Switch. If you have many RMON
sessions, the forwarding performance of the Switch is not affected but
you may experience slow response times from the web interface.
Alarm Events You can define up to 200 alarms for the Switch. The events that you can
define for each alarm and their resulting actions are listed in Ta b l e 5
