Configuring Switch Threshold Alarms
Configuring switch alarms on the NAM-1/2 allows you to set alarms for the variables stored in the mini-RMON
agent in the Cisco Catalyst
®
Switch. Using this option, you can create port-level alarms for utilization, dropped
events, bytes, packets, broadcasts, multicasts, cyclic-redundancy-check (CRC) alignment errors, undersized
frames, oversized frames, fragments, jabbers, and collisions. To configure alarms for these variables, simply
choose the port you want to alarm on, the variable, sampling interval, a descriptive name, sample type,
threshold definitions and values, alarm event or action, and the community string for the management
console that will receive traps, if you configured the alarm to trap on the event. Remember that you must
create a new alarm for every port you want to alarm on.
As you will see later in the tutorial, you can view the alarms for the switch from the Alarms tab.
Refer to the discussion on defining NAM threshold alarms for more information on each of these parameters
or refer to the chapter on Alarms in the User Guide.
