RMON group 3—alarms
The RMON Alarm group allows you to define a set of thresholds used to determine network performance. When
a configured threshold is crossed, an alarm is generated. For example, you can configure the switch to issue an
alarm if more than 1,000 CRC errors occur during a 10-minute time interval.
Each Alarm index consists of a variable to monitor, a sampling time interval, and parameters for rising and
falling thresholds. The Alarm group can be used to track rising or falling values for a MIB object. The object must
be a counter, gauge, integer, or time interval.
Use the /cfg/rmon/alarm x/revtidx or /fevtidx to correlate an alarm index to an event index. When
the alarm threshold is reached, the corresponding event is triggered.
