Removing an Alarm
To remove an alarm from the table, follow these steps:
1. Double click on the alarm in the Alarm Table to access the Alarm Set Up
View.
2. Click on the Status button and select invalid from the menu.
3. Click the right mouse button, or select Save All Changes from the File
menu, and click OK in the dialog box that appears. The alarm will now be
removed from the Alarm Table. Dismiss the Alarm Set Up View window.
4. Click on Update in the Alarm Table to verify that the alarm was removed.
RMON Events
Click on the RMON Alarms/Events selection from the RMONApp’s Icon
Subviews menu. The Alarm/Event Table appears. Figure 6-3 shows the
Events section of the RMON Alarm/Event view.
When you define an event, you specify the action that the RMON agent should
perform when a specified network activity occurs. By default, RMON on the
device configures three events: High Threshold Exceeded, Low Threshold
Exceeded, and Packet Match Occurrence.
The following sections describe how to create an event, modify an existing
event, view the event log, and remove an event.
Creating an Event
Creating an event is a two-step process. The first step is to create an instance
of a new event. The next step is to make the event valid, thus enabling the
event.
NOTE
In the configuration views for RMON Alarms and Events, some attribute
fields are outlined in red. This is normal; it occurs when you define a new
alarm or event because a value for the attribute does not yet exist. After you
enter a value, the attribute outline changes to white.
