Remote Monitoring Commands
Remote Monitoring (RMON) is a method of collecting a variety of data about network traffic. RMON supports
64-bit counters (RFC 3273) and High Capacity Alarm Table (RFC 3434).
rmon alarm
This command sets the RMON alarm entry in the RMON alarm MIB group.
Example: The following shows an example of the command.
(Routing) (Config)# rmon alarm 1 ifInErrors.2 30 absolute rising-threshold 100 1 falling-threshold
10 2 startup rising owner myOwner
Note: There is no configuration command for ether stats and high capacity ether stats. The data
source for ether stats and high capacity ether stats are configured during initialization.
Format
rmon alarm alarm number variable sample interval {absolute|delta} rising-threshold
value [rising-event-index] falling-threshold value [falling-event-index] [startup
{rising|falling|rising-falling}] [owner string]
Mode Global Config
Parameter Description
Alarm Index An index that uniquely identifies an entry in the alarm table. Each entry defines a diagnostic
sample at a particular interval for an object on the device. The range is 1 to 65535.
Alarm Variable The object identifier of the particular variable to be sampled. Only variables that resolve to
an ASN.1 primitive type of integer.
Alarm Interval The interval in seconds over which the data is sampled and compared with the rising and
falling thresholds. The range is 1 to 2147483647. The default is 1.
Alarm Absolute
Value
The value of the statistic during the last sampling period. This object is a read-only, 32-bit
signed value.
Alarm Rising
Threshold
The rising threshold for the sample statistics. The range is –2147483648 to 2147483647.
The default is 1.
Alarm Rising
Event Index
The index of the eventEntry that is used when a rising threshold is crossed. The range is 1
to 65535. The default is 1.
Alarm Falling
Threshold
The falling threshold for the sample statistics. The range is –2147483648 to 2147483647.
The default is 1.
Alarm Falling
Event Index
The index of the eventEntry that is used when a falling threshold is crossed. The range is 1
to 65535. The default is 2.
Alarm Startup
Alarm
The alarm that may be sent. Possible values are rising, falling or both rising-falling. The
default is rising-falling.
Alarm Owner The owner string associated with the alarm entry. The default is monitorAlarm.
