RMON Alarm Configuration Mode Commands

RMON alarm configuration mode allows you to configure an RMON alarm. An RMON alarm allows you to monitor every SNMP object in the CSS for a desired transitory state.

To access RMON alarm configuration mode, use the rmon-alarm command from any configuration mode except boot configuration mode. The prompt changes to (config-rmonalarm [index]). You can also use this command in RMON alarm mode to configure another alarm. For information about commands available in this mode, refer to the following commands.

Use the no form of this command to delete an RMON alarm.

rmon-alarm index
no rmon-alarm index

Syntax Description

index

The RMON alarm index number. Enter an integer from 1 to 65535. Note The RMON alarm index 65535 is administratively predefined and cannot be modified. If you enter this index number, a message similar to the following appears: %% Index internally used. Administrative control not allowed.

(config-rmonalarm) active

To activate the RMON alarm, use the active command. Before you can activate an alarm, you must specify all RMON alarm parameters. To deactivate an alarm, exit to global configuration mode and use the no rmon-alarm command.
