Chapter 28 Configuring RMON
Configuring RMON
Configuring RMON
This section includes the following topics:
• Configuring RMON Alarms, page 28-3
• Configuring RMON Events, page 28-4
Configuring RMON Alarms
You can configure RMON alarms on any integer-based SNMP MIB object.
You can optionally specify the following parameters:
• The event-number to trigger if the rising or falling threshold exceeds the specified limit.
• The owner of the alarm.
Ensure you have configured an SNMP user and enabled SNMP notifications (see the “Configuring
SNMP” section on page 27-5).
To configure RMON alarms, perform this task:
The following example shows how to configure RMON alarms:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# rmon alarm 1 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.17.83886080 5 delta rising-threshold 5 1
falling-threshold 0 owner test
switch(config)# copy running-config startup-config
switch# show rmon alarms
Alarm 1 is active, owned by test
Monitors 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.17.83886080 every 5 second(s)
Taking delta samples, last value was 0
Rising threshold is 5, assigned to event 1
Falling threshold is 0, assigned to event 0
On startup enable rising or falling alarm
Command Purpose
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)# rmon alarm index
mib-object sample-interval {absolute |
delta} rising-threshold value
[event-index] falling-threshold value
[event-index] [owner name]
Creates an RMON alarm. The value range is from
-2147483647 to 2147483647. The owner name can be
any alphanumeric string.
switch(config)# rmon hcalarm index
mib-object sample-interval {absolute |
delta} rising-threshold-high value
rising-threshold-low value [event-index]
falling-threshold-high value
falling-threshold-low value
[event-index] [owner name] [storagetype
type]
Creates an RMON high-capacity alarm. The value
range is from -2147483647 to 2147483647. The owner
name can be any alphanumeric string.
The storage type range is from 1 to 5.
Step 3
switch(config)# show rmon {alarms |
hcalarms}
(Optional) Displays information about RMON alarms
or high-capacity alarms.
Step 4
switch(config)# copy running-config
startup-config
(Optional) Saves this configuration change.
