Configuring SNMP & RMON
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

Configuring RMON alarm entries.
index:
 Specify the index of the Alarm entry, which ranges from 1 to 12. To configure multiple 
indexes, enter a list of indexes separated by commas, or use a hyphen to indicates a range 
of indexes. For example, 1-3, 5 indicates 1, 2, 3, 5.
sindex:
 Specify the index of the related Statistics entry, which ranges from 1 to 65535.

127 | 128-255 | 256-511 | 512-1023 | 1024-1518: 
Choose an alarm variable to monitor. The 
switch will monitor the specified variable in sample intervals and act in the set way when the 
alarm is triggered. The default variable is revbyte. 
revbyte means total number of received bytes; revpkt means total number of received 
packets; bpkt means total number of broadcast packets. mpkt means total number of 
multicast packets; crc-align means packets that contain FCS Error or Alignment Error, 
within a size of 64 to 1518 bytes; undersize means packets that are smaller than 64 bytes; 
oversize means packets that are larger than 1518 bytes; jabber means packets that are 
sent when port collisions occur; collision means the collision times in the network segment; 
64 | 65-127 | 128-255 | 256-511 | 512-1023 | 1024-1518 means total number of packets of 
the specified size.
