To enable RMON alarms and events, perform this task:
Command Purpose
Step 1
Switch# configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
Switch(config)# rmon alarm number variable interval
{absolute | delta} rising-threshold value [event-number]
falling-threshold value [event-number]
[
owner string]
Sets an alarm on a MIB object.
• For number, specify the alarm number. The
range is 1 to 65535.
• For variable, specify the MIB object to monitor.
• For interval, specify the time in seconds the
alarm monitors the MIB variable. The range is
1 to 4294967295 seconds.
• Specify the absolute keyword to test each MIB
variable directly; specify the delta keyword to
test the change between samples of a MIB
variable.
• For value, specify a number at which the alarm
is triggered and one for when the alarm is reset.
The range for the rising threshold and falling
threshold values is -2147483648 to
2147483647.
• (Optional) For event-number, specify the event
number to trigger when the rising or falling
threshold exceeds its limit.
