The following example shows how to create an event entry on the switch. Set the user 
name as admin, the event type as Notify (set the switch to initiate notifications to the NMS), 
and the owner as monitor:
Switch#configure
Switch(config)#rmon event 1 user admin description rising-notify type notify owner 
monitor
Switch(config)#show rmon event
Index  User        Description      Type       Owner        State
-----    ----           -----------           ----          -----             -----
1        admin        rising-notify     Notify     monitor      Enable
Switch(config)#end
Switch#copy running-config startup-config
