Configuring RMON

This example generates a trap and creates a log entry when the number of

inbound packets are undeliverable due to errors increases by 20 or more.
First, an RMON event is created. Then, the alarm is created. The event

(event 1) generates a trap and creates a log entry. The alarm is configured for

the MIB object ifInErrors (OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.14.1). The OID is the

variable. The alarm checks the variable every 30 seconds to compare the MIB

counter to the configured rising and falling thresholds. If the rise is equal to

or greater than 20, event 1 goes into effect.
To configure the switch:

1 Create the event. The trap is sent to the private SNMP community.

console#configure

console(config)#rmon event 1 description

"emergency event" log trap private

2 Create the alarm.

console(config)#rmon alarm 1

1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.14.1 30 delta rising-threshold

20 1 falling-threshold 1

3 Verify the configuration.

console#show rmon events
