Command Usage
If an alarm is already defined for an index, the entry must be deleted before any
changes can be made.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
Index – Index to this entry. (Range: 1-65535)
Variable – The object identifier of the MIB variable to be sampled. Only
variables of the type etherStatsEntry.n.n may be sampled.
Note that etherStatsEntry.n uniquely defines the MIB variable, and
etherStatsEntry.n.n defines the MIB variable, plus the etherStatsIndex. For
example, 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1.1.6.1 denotes etherStatsBroadcastPkts, plus the
etherStatsIndex of 1.
Interval – The polling interval. (Range: 1-31622400 seconds)
Sample TypeTests for absolute or relative changes in the specified variable.
Absolute – The variable is compared directly to the thresholds at the end
of the sampling period.
Delta – The last sample is subtracted from the current value and the
difference is then compared to the thresholds.
Rising Threshold – If the current value is greater than or equal to the rising
threshold, and the last sample value was less than this threshold, then an alarm
will be generated. After a rising event has been generated, another such event
will not be generated until the sampled value has fallen below the rising
threshold, reaches the falling threshold, and again moves back up to the rising
threshold. (Range: 0-2147483647)
Rising Event Index – The index of the event to use if an alarm is triggered by
monitored variables reaching or crossing above the rising threshold. If there is
no corresponding entry in the event control table, then no event will be
generated. (Range: 0-65535)
Falling Threshold – If the current value is less than or equal to the falling
threshold, and the last sample value was greater than this threshold, then an
alarm will be generated. After a falling event has been generated, another such
event will not be generated until the sampled value has risen above the falling
threshold, reaches the rising threshold, and again moves back down to the
failing threshold. (Range: 0-2147483647)
Falling Event Index – The index of the event to use if an alarm is triggered by
monitored variables reaching or crossing below the falling threshold. If there is
no corresponding entry in the event control table, then no event will be
generated. (Range: 0-65535)
Owner – Name of the person who created this entry. (Range: 1-32 characters)
