Configuring the RMON Alarm Function

Configuration Prerequisites

z

If you need to configure that the managed ACs send traps to the NMS when it triggers an alarm

event, you should configure the SNMP agent as described in SNMP in the Network Management

and Monitoring Configuration Guide before configuring the RMON alarm function.

z

If the alarm variable is the MIB variable defined in the history group or the Ethernet statistics group,

you must make sure that the RMON Ethernet statistics function or the RMON history statistics

function is configured on the monitored Ethernet interface; otherwise, the creation of the alarm

entry fails, and no alarm event is triggered.

Configuration Procedure

Follow these steps to configure the RMON alarm function:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Create an event entry in
the event table

rmon event entry-number [ description string ] { log |
log-trap
log-trapcommunity | none | trap trap-community }
[ owner text ]

Optional

Create an entry in the
alarm table

rmon alarm entry-number alarm-variable
sampling
-interval { absolute | delta } rising-threshold
threshold-value1 event-entry1 falling-threshold
threshold-value2 event-entry2 [ owner text ]

Create an entry in the
private alarm table

rmon prialarm entry-number prialarm-formula
prialarm-des sampling-interval
{ absolute | changeratio |
delta } rising-threshold threshold-value1 event-entry1
falling-threshold threshold-value2 event-entry2
entrytype { forever | cycle cycle-period } [ owner text ]

Required

Use at least one
command.

z

A new entry cannot be created if its parameters are identical with the corresponding parameters of

an existing entry. See

Table 9-1

for the parameters to be compared for different entries.

z

The system limits the total number of each type of entries (See

Table 9-1

for the detailed numbers).

When the total number of an entry reaches the maximum number of entries that can be created,

the creation fails.

Table 9-1 Restrictions on the configuration of RMON

Entry

Parameters to be compared

Maximum number of

entries that can be

created

Event

Event description (description string), event type (log, trap,
logtrap or none) and community name (trap-community or
log-trapcommunity)
