HP MSR2000/3000/4000 Router Series Network Management and Monitoring Command Reference
176
alarm-variable: Specifies an alarm variable, a string of 1 to 255 characters. You can only specify
variables that can be parsed as an ASN.1 INTEGER value (INTEGER, INTEGER32, Unsigned32,
Counter32, Counter64, Gauge, or TimeTicks) for the alarm-variable argument. The alarm variables must
use one of the following formats:
Format Exam
p
les
Dotted OID format:
entry.integer.instance
1.3.6.1.2.1.2.1.10.1
Object name.instance
etherStatsOctets.1
etherStatsPkts.1
etherStatsBroadcastPkts.1
ifInOctets.1
ifInUcastPkts.1
ifInNUcastPkts.1
sampling-interval: Sets the sampling interval in the range of 5 to 65535 seconds.
absolute: Specifies absolute sampling. RMON compares the value of the variable with the rising and
falling thresholds at the end of the sampling interval.
delta: Specifies delta sampling. RMON subtracts the value of the variable at the previous sample from
the current value, and then compares the difference with the rising and falling thresholds.
startup-alarm: Specifies alarms that can be generated when the alarm entry becomes valid. If no alarm
is specified, RMON can generate a rising alarm or a falling alarm depending on the first sample.
rising: Generates a rising alarm if the first sample after the entry becomes valid is greater than or equal
to the rising threshold.
falling: Generates a falling alarm if the first sample after the entry becomes valid is less than or equal to
the rising threshold.
rising-falling: Generates a rising alarm if the first sample crosses the rising threshold, or generates a
falling alarm if the first sample crosses the falling threshold.
rising-threshold threshold-value1 event-entry1: Sets the rising threshold. The threshold-value1 argument
represents the rising threshold in the range of –2147483648 to +2147483647. The event-entry1 argument
represents the index of the event that is triggered when the rising threshold is crossed. The value range
for the event-entry1 argument is 0 to 65535. If 0 is specified, the alarm does not trigger any event.
falling-threshold threshold-value2 event-entry2: Sets the falling threshold. The threshold-value2 argument
represents the falling threshold in the range of –2147483648 to +2147483647. The event-entry2
argument represents the index of the event that is triggered when the falling threshold is crossed. The
value range for the event-entry2 argument is 0 to 65535. If 0 is specified, the alarm does not trigger any
event.
owner text: Specifies the entry owner, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 127 characters. The string can
contain spaces, but it cannot contain the question mark (?) or any unprintable control characters in the
US ASCII character set.
Usage guidelines
You can create up to 60 entries in the RMON alarm table.
