NAM MIB Threshold Alarms
Choose Setup > Alarms to enter setup mode for alarms. First, we will look at NAM MIB thresholds, so select
that option from the menu in the upper left corner. Click the Create button and choose the variable from the
pull-down list for the variable you want to alarm on. For NAM threshold alarms you will be given MAC or
Network Layer Hosts, MAC or Network Layer Conversations, Application Statistics, Server or Client-Server
Response Time, and Traffic or Host or application DiffServ Statistics as your variable options.
Next, choose the type of analysis you want to perform on the variable. The type of analysis depends on the
MIB variable selected. For most NAM threshold alarms, you have the option of alarming by the number of
received packets or bytes or transmitted packets or bytes. For Application based alarms the selection is either
packets or bytes, and for the response time alarms the analysis selections include average, maximum,
retries, timeouts, and bytes. You can also choose which network protocol you want to filter on (IP, IPV6, IPX,
AppleTalk, DECNet, or Vines). Click Next to move to the next configuration screen to set the threshold
parameters.
