Usage
A pair relationship exists between the index numbers entered here in rising-threshold index and
falling-threshold index and index numbers defined by the command rmon event index.
For example, the following command sequence requires that RMON event 10 be triggered by RMON
alarm 50 when the rising threshold of 200 is exceeded. RMON event 20 will be triggered by RMON
alarm 50 when the falling threshold of 100 is passed.
Parameters
1-65535
An integer, from 1 to 65535 that uniquely identifies the alarm in the RMON Alarm
Table.
SNMP_OID
The MIB object to monitor. The variable must be in the SNMP OID format, for
example, 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.
For general MIB queries, the OIDs start from 1.3.6.1.2.1. For private MIB queries,
the OIDs start from 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.1, where 6027 is the Dell Force10 Enterprise
Number.
The object type must be a 32-bit integer.
5-3600
Sample interval, in seconds, with which the alarm monitors the MIB variables; this
is the alarmSampleType in the RMON Alarm table.
Range: 5 to 3600 seconds
delta Enter the keyword delta to test the change between MIB variables. This is the
alarmSampleType in the RMON Alarm table.
absolute Enter the keyword absolute to test each MIB variable directly. This is the
alarmSampleType in the RMON Alarm table.
rising-threshold
0-4294967295 index
Enter the keyword rising-threshold followed by the value (32-bit) at which
the rising-threshold alarm is either triggered or reset — the minimum
threshold for causing a rising alarm.
Range: 0-4294967295
Then, in place of
event-number, enter the event number to trigger when
the rising threshold exceeds its limit. This value is the same as the
alarmRisingEventIndex or alarmTable of the RMON MIB. If there is no
corresponding rising-threshold event, the value is zero.
Range: 0-65535
falling-threshold
0-4294967295 index
Enter the keyword falling-threshold followed by the value (32-bit) the
falling-threshold alarm is either triggered or reset — the maximum threshold
for causing a falling alarm.
Range: 0-4294967295
Then enter the event number to trigger (0-65535) when the falling threshold
exceeds its limit. This value is the same as the alarmFallingEventIndex or
the alarmTable of the RMON MIB. If there is no corresponding
falling-threshold event, the value is zero.
Range: 0-65535
owner string
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword owner followed by a name to specify an owner
for the alarm. This is the alarmOwner object in the alarmTable of the RMON MIB.
Range: string of 127 characters maximum
