3.10.8 RMON Alarm Configuration

Use this command to configure RMON alarm on a port.

Command Syntax:

rmon alarm <id> { ifInOctets | ifInUcastPkts | ifInNUcastPkts | ifInDiscards | ifInErrors | ifInUnknownProtos | ifOutOctets | ifOutUcastPkts | ifOutNUcastPkts | ifOutDiscards | ifOutErrors | ifOutQLen } <ifIndex> <interval> {absolute | delta } rising-threshold <rising_threshold> <rising_event_id> falling-threshold <falling_threshold> <falling_event_id> { [ rising | falling | both ] }

Table 3-49. Command Description
	Argument	Description
Parameter	`<id>`	Indicates the index of the entry. The range is from 1 to 65535.
	`ifInDiscards`	The number of inbound packets that are discarded even the packets are normal.
	`ifInErrors`	The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being delivered to a higher-layer protocol.
	`ifInNUcastPkts`	The number of broadcast and multicast packets delivered to a higher-layer protocol
	`ifInOctets`	The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing characters.
	`ifInUcastPkts`	The number of uni-cast packets delivered to a higher-layer protocol.
	`ifInUnknownProtos`	The number of inbound packets that are discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol.
	`ifOutDiscards`	The number of outbound packets that are discarded event the packets is normal.
	`ifOutErrors`	The number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted because of errors.
	`ifOutOctets`	The number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including framing characters.
	`ifOutQLen`	The length of the output packet queue (in packets).
	`ifOutUcastPkts`	The number of uni-cast packets that request to transmit.
	`<ifIndex>`	Indicates the port ID. If in a stacking switch, the value must add 1000000 * (switch ID − 1), for example, if the port is on switch 1, port 5, the value is 1000005.
	`<interval>`	Indicates the interval in seconds for sampling and comparing the rising and falling threshold. The range is from 1 to 2³¹− 1.
	`<rising_threshold>`	Rising threshold value (−2147483648 to 2147483647).
	`<rising_event_id>`	Rising event index (0–65535). If this value is zero, no associated event is generated, as zero is not a valid event index.
	`<falling_threshold>`	Falling threshold value (−2147483648 to 2147483647)
	`<falling_event_id>`	Falling event index (0−65535). If this value is zero, no associated event is generated, as zero is not a valid event index.
Default	N.A
Mode	Global Configuration mode
Usage	Configure Remote Monitoring alarm on an interface. To delete the entry, use the ‘no’ version of the command.
Example	Example 1: Configure RMON alarm on port 3 with ID1, interval 50 sec, sampling directly. `(config)# rmon alarm 1 ifOutUcastPkts 1000003 50 absolute rising-threshold 70 1 falling-threshold 60 2 both` Example 2: Delete RMON alarm entry ID1. `(config)# no rmon alarm 1`
