Create an entry in the alarm table 
rmon alarm entry-number alarm-variable 
sampling-interval { absolute | delta }

z  A new entry cannot be created if its parameters are identical with the corresponding parameters of 
an existing entry Refer to 
Table 17-1 for the parameters to be compared for different entries. 
z  The system limits the total number of each type of entries (Refer to Table 17-1 for the detailed 
numbers). When the total number of an entry reaches the maximum number of entries that can be 
created, the creation fails. 
z  When you create an entry in the history table, if the specified buckets number argument exceeds 
the history table size supported by the device, the entry will be created. However, the validated 
value of the buckets  number argument corresponding to the entry is the history table size 
supported by the device.
