Chapter 19: RMON
Events
An event specifies the action of the switch when the ingress packet activity on a port crosses a statistical threshold defined in an alarm. The choices are to log a message in the event log of the switch, send an SNMP trap to an SNMP workstation, or both. Since there are only three possible actions and since events can be used with more than one alarm, you probably will not create more than three events - one for each of the three actions.
Perform the following procedure to configure RMON history.
1.From the main menu on the left side of the page, click the RMON folder.
