set rmon alarm properties

Use this command to configure an RMON alarm entry, or to create a new alarm entry with an unused alarm index number.

Syntax

set rmon alarm properties index [interval interval] [object object] [type {absolute | delta}] [startup {rising | falling | either}] [rthresh rthresh] [fthresh fthresh] [revent revent] [fevent fevent] [owner owner]

Parameters

index Specifies an index number for this entry. Maximum number of entries is 50. Maximum value is 65535.
interval interval (Optional) Specifies an interval (in seconds) for RMON to conduct sample monitoring. Default value: 3600.
object object (Optional) Specifies a MIB object to be monitored.
Note: This parameter is not mandatory for executing the command, but must be specified in order to enable the alarm entry configuration.
type absolute | delta (Optional) Specifies the monitoring method as: sampling the absolute value of the object, or the difference (delta) between object samples. Default value: absolute.
startup rising | falling | either (Optional) Specifies the type of alarm generated when this event is first enabled as:
  • Rising - Sends alarm when an RMON event maximum threshold condition is reached, for example, more than 30 collisions per second.
  • Falling - Sends an alarm when RMON event falls below a minimum threshold condition, for example when the network is behaving normally again.
  • Either - Sends alarm when either a rising or falling threshold is reached.
rthresh rthresh (Optional) Specifies a minimum threshold for causing a rising alarm.
fthresh fthresh (Optional) Specifies a maximum threshold for causing a falling alarm.
revent revent (Optional) Specifies the index number of the RMON event to be triggered when the rising threshold is crossed.
fevent fevent (Optional) Specifies the index number of the RMON event to be triggered when the falling threshold is crossed.
owner owner (Optional) Specifies the name of the entity that configured this alarm entry.

Defaults

  • interval - 3600 seconds
  • type - absolute
  • startup - rising
  • rthresh - 0
  • fthresh - 0
  • revent - 0
  • fevent - 0
  • owner - monitor

Mode

All command modes.

Example

This example shows how to configure a rising RMON alarm. This entry will conduct monitoring of the delta between samples every 30 seconds:

System(rw)->set rmon alarm properties 3 interval 30 object    1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.29.1.2.1.0 type delta rthresh 1 revent 2 owner Manager
