Asante Technologies 5308F Adding an Rmon Alarm Group Entry, Data Source Obj ID, Sampling Type

Adding an RMON Alarm Group Entry

Data Source (Obj ID)

Enter the Object ID of the counter to be monitored.

▲Important! The Object ID for a counter is defined in the MIB with which it is asso- ciated (e.g., MIB II, RMON, etc).

Some counters require an interface num- ber (the number of the port to be moni- tored) at the end of the object ID. See Figure 7-8.

For example, to monitor the RMON Ether- net Statistics Octets counter (etherStatsOc- tets), enter the following object ID number, directly followed by the number of the port to be monitored:

1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1.1.4.4

Sampling Type

Enter the method for sampling the selected Data Source. Options are:

❏absolute value — the value of the Data Source is compared directly with the thresh- olds at the end of the sampling interval.

❏delta value — the value of the Data Source at the last sample is subtracted from the cur- rent value and the difference is compared with the thresholds.

Startup Alarm

Enter the type of alarm to be sent. Option are:

❏risingAlarm — if the first sample is greater than or equal to the value set for the Rising Threshold (see “Rising Threshold” on page 7-12), an alarm is generated.
