VENTS
Use the Administration > RMON (Configure Global - Add - Event) page to
set the action to take when an alarm is triggered. The response can include
logging the alarm or sending a message to a trap manager. Alarms and
corresponding events provide a way of immediately responding to critical
network problems.
