Configuring RMON alarm settings

To configure RMON alarms and events, perform the following steps from privileged EXEC mode.

Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
```
device# configure terminal
```

Configure the RMON alarms.

Example of an alarm that tests every sample for a rising threshold

device(config)# rmon alarm 5 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1.1.5.65535 interval 30 
                         absolute rising-threshold 95 event 27 owner john_smith

Example of an alarm that tests the delta between samples for a falling threshold

device(config)# rmon alarm 5 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1.1.5.65535 interval 10 delta	
                         falling-threshold 65 event 42 owner john_smith

Return to privileged EXEC mode.
```
device(config)# end
```
Save the running-config file to the startup-config file.
```
device# copy running-config startup-config
```
To view configured alarms, use the show running-config rmon alarm command.
