Create an entry in the alarm table 
rmon alarm entry-number alarm-variable 
sampling-interval { absolute | delta } 
rising-threshold threshold-value1 
event-entry1 falling-threshold 
threshold-value2 event-entry2 [ owner text ] 
Optional 
Create an entry in the private 
alarm table  
rmon prialarm entry-number prialarm-formula 
prialarm-des sampling-interval { absolute | 
changeratio | delta } rising-threshold 
threshold-value1 event-entry1 
falling-threshold threshold-value2 
event-entry2 entrytype { forever | cycle 
cycle-period } [ owner text ] 
Optional 
 
 
z  A new entry cannot be created if its parameters are identical with the corresponding parameters of 
an existing entry Refer to 
Table 1-1 for the parameters to be compared for different entries. 
z  The system limits the total number of each type of entries (Refer to Table 1-1 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.
