RMON Event Configuration
The RMON Event Group allows you to define events that are triggered by alarms. An event
can be a log message, an SNMP trap, or both. When an alarm is generated, it triggers a corre-
sponding event notification. RMON events use SNMP and syslogs to send notifications.
Therefore, an SNMP trap host must be configured for trap event notification to work properly.
RMON uses a syslog host to send syslog messages. Therefore, an existing syslog host must be
configured for event log notification to work properly. Each log event generates a syslog of
type RMON that corresponds to the event.
