Use the rmon alarm command to add an entry to the alarm table. 
Use the undo rmon alarm command to cancel an entry from this table. 
In this way, the alarm event can be triggered in the abnormal situations and then 
decides to log and send trap to the NM station.

Before adding an alarm entry, you need first to define the event to be referenced in the 
alarm entry using the rmon event command.
