Chapter 1      Configuring RMON
Configuring RMON
The following example shows how to configure RMON alarms:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# rmon alarm 20 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.14 2900 delta rising-threshold 1500 1 
falling-threshold 0 owner test
switch(config)# rmon alarm 20 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.14.16777216 2900 delta 
rising-threshold-high 15 rising-threshold-low 151 falling-threshold-high 0 
falling-threshold-low 0 owner test
switch(config)# show rmon alarms
switch(config)# copy running-config startup-config
Configuring RMON Events
You can configure RMON events to associate with RMON alarms. You can reuse the same event with 
multiple RMON alarms.
Ensure you have configured an SNMP user and enabled SNMP notifications (see the “Configuring 
SNMP” section on page 1-5).
To configure RMON events, perform this task:
Step 2
switch(config)# rmon alarm index 
mib-object sample-interval {absolute | 
delta} rising-threshold value 
[event-index] falling-threshold value 
[event-index] [owner name]
Creates a 32-bit RMON alarm. The value range is from 
– 2147483647 to 2147483647. The owner name can be 
any alphanumeric string.
switch(config)# rmon hcalarm index 
mib-object sample-interval {absolute | 
delta} rising-threshold-high value 
rising-threshold-low value [event-index] 
falling-threshold-high value 
falling-threshold-low value 
[event-index] [owner name] [storagetype 
type]
Creates a 64-bit high-capacity RMON alarm. The 
value range is from – 2147483647 to 2147483647. 
The owner name can be any alphanumeric string.
The storage type range is from 1 to 5.
Step 3
switch(config)# show rmon {alarms | 
hcalarms}
(Optional) Displays information about rmon alarms or 
high capacity alarms.
Step 4
switch(config)# copy running-config 
startup-config
(Optional) Saves this configuration change.
Command Purpose
Command Purpose
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)# rmon event index 
[description string] [log] [trap] [owner 
name]
Configures an RMON event. The description string 
and owner name can be any alphanumeric string.
