Types of Alarms
The Traffic Analyzer alarm features allow you to create alarms for a variety of the MIB variables stored in
MIBs either on the NAM or on the switch. The following features allow you to create and customize alarms to
meet your needs.
NAM MIB thresholds—NAM threshold MIBs enable you to create alarms and define thresholds based
on byte or packet counter variables by protocol for network and MAC layer hosts and conversations.
Additionally, MIB thresholds alarms can also be created for server response time, server client
response time, DiffServ traffic statistics, DiffServ host statistics, and DiffServ application statistics.
NAM voice thresholds—NAM voice thresholds enable you to create alarms and define thresholds for
packet loss statistics based on the RTP sequence number.
NAM voice thresholds—NAM RTP Stream thresholds enable you to create alarms and define
thresholds for packet loss and jitter for SCCP, H.323, SIP, and MGCP.
NAM syslog configuration—syslog configuration enables you to send alerts as syslog messages to
either a local or remote syslog file.
NAM switch thresholds—NAM switch thresholds enable you to create alarms and define thresholds
for the variables stored in the mini-RMON agent of the switch. This includes variables for port
utilization, fragments, jabbers, alignment errors, collisions, and more. This option is available on the
NAM-1/2 only.
NAM trap destinations—NAM trap destinations enable you to define the IP address and UDP port for
the management station(s) that should receive notification of events generated by the NAM.
NAM alarm e-mail—Allows you to forward alerts as e-mail messages to a list of defined recipients.
The next few pages cover these alarm options and how to create an alarm for event notification.
