Chapter 10 RMON 3 Highlight the row that contains the port ID you want to delete. 4 Click Delete. The Ether Stats entry is removed from the table. Alarms Alarms are useful when you need to know when the values of a variable go out of range. You can define an RMON alarm for any MIB variable that resolves to an integer value. You cannot use string variables (such as system description) as alarm variables.
Chapter 10 RMON 213 Figure 116 How alarms fire Rising value Falling value Alarm fires No firing 7821EA It is important to note that the alarm fires during the first interval that the sample goes out of range. No additional events are generated for that threshold until the opposite threshold is crossed. Therefore, it is important to carefully define the rising and falling threshold values for alarms to work as expected. Otherwise, incorrect thresholds causes an alarm to fire at every alarm interval.
Chapter 10 RMON or spanning tree is disabled (which would cause the value for outbound octets to drop to zero), the falling alarm cannot fire because the baseline traffic is always greater than the value of the falling threshold. By definition, the failure of the falling alarm to fire prevents the rising alarm from firing a second time.
Chapter 10 RMON 215 and allows for the detection of threshold crossings that span the sampling boundary. If you track the current values of a given delta-valued alarm and add them together, therefore, the result is twice the actual value. (This result is not an error in the software.) Alarm Manager example Note: The example alarm described in the following procedure generates at least one alarm every five minutes. The example is intended only to demonstrate how alarms fire; it is not a useful alarm.
Chapter 10 RMON 2 In the variable field, select a variable for the alarm from the list and a port (or other ID) on which you want to set an alarm (Figure 119). Figure 119 Alarm variable list Alarm variables are in three formats, depending on the type: • • • A chassis alarm ends in .x where the x index is hard-coded. No further information is required. A card, spanning tree group (STG) or EtherStat alarm ends with a dot (.).
