Table 174  RMON Alarm Menu options 
Command Description 
sample abs|delta 
Configures the method of sampling the selected variable and calculating 
the value to be compared against the thresholds, as follows:  
abs: absolute value, the value of the selected variable is compared directly 
with the thresholds at the end of the sampling interval.  
delta: delta value, the value of the selected variable at the last sample is 
subtracted from the current value, and the difference compared with the 
thresholds.  
almtype rising|falling|either 
Configures the alarm type as rising, falling, or either (rising or falling).  
rlimit < -2147483647 to 
2147483647> 
Configures the rising threshold for the sampled statistic. When the current 
sampled value is greater than or equal to this threshold, and the value at 
the last sampling interval was less than this threshold, a single event is 
generated.  
flimit < -2147483647 to 
2147483647> 
Configures the falling threshold for the sampled statistic. When the current 
sampled value is less than or equal to this threshold, and the value at the 
last sampling interval was greater than this threshold, a single event is 
generated. 
revtidx <0-65535> 
Configures the rising alarm event index that is triggered when a rising 
threshold is crossed. 
The range is from 0 to 65535. The default value is 0. 
fevtidx <0-65535>  
Configures the falling alarm event index that is triggered when a falling 
threshold is crossed. 
The range is from 0 to 65535. The default value is 0.  
owner <1-127 characters> 
Enter a text string that identifies the person or entity that uses this alarm 
index.  
The owner can have a maximum of 127 characters. 
delete 
Deletes this alarm index.  
cur 
Displays the current RMON Alarm parameters. 
 
Port mirroring 
Command: /cfg/pmirr 
[Port Mirroring Menu] 
      mirror  - Enable/Disable Mirroring 
      monport - Monitoring Port based PM Menu 
      cur     - Display All Mirrored and Monitoring Ports 
 
The Port Mirroring Configuration Menu is used to configure, enable, and disable the monitored port. When enabled, 
network packets being sent and/or received on a target port are duplicated and sent to a monitor port. By attaching 
a network analyzer to the monitor port, you can collect detailed information about your network performance and 
usage. Port mirroring is disabled by default.  
 
NOTE:  See the “Troubleshooting tools” appendix in the HP GbE2c Ethernet Blade Switch for c-Class 
BladeSystem Application Guide for information on how to use port mirroring. 
 
The following table describes the Port Mirroring Configuration Menu options.

Command Description 
mirror disable|enable  Enables or disables port mirroring 
monport <port number>  Displays port mirroring menu.  
cur  Displays current settings of the mirrored and monitoring ports.
