Blade ICE G8000 manual Alarm MIB objects, Configuring Rmon Alarms

RackSwitch G8000 Application Guide

Use one of the following commands to correlate an Alarm index to an Event index:

RS G8000 (config)# rmon alarm <alarm number> rise-event<event number> RS G8000 (config)# rmon alarm <alarm number> fall-event<event number>

When the alarm threshold is reached, the corresponding event is triggered.

Alarm MIB objects

The most common data types used for alarm monitoring are ifStats: errors, drops, bad CRCs, and so on. These MIB Object Identifiers (OIDs) correlate to the ones tracked by the History Group. The following are examples of RMON statistics:

1.3.6.1.2.1.5.1.0– mgmt.icmp.icmpInMsgs

1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.x – ifInOctets

The last digit (x) represents the interface on which to monitor, which corresponds to the inter- face number, or port number, as follows:

1-128 = IF 1-128

129 = port 1

130 = port 2

…

172 = port 44

This value represents the alarm’s MIB OID, as a string. Note that for non-tables, you must sup- ply a .0 to specify end node.

Configuring RMON Alarms

Example 1

1.Configure the RMON Alarm parameters to track the number of packets received on port 1.

RS G8000 (config)# rmon alarm 1 oid 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.129 alarm-type rising rise-event 100

RS G8000 (config)# rmon alarm 1 interval-time 3600

RS G8000 (config)# rmon alarm 1 rising-threshold 2000000000 RS G8000 (config)# rmon alarm 1 owner "Alarm for ifInOctets"

This configuration creates an RMON alarm that checks ifInOctets on port 1 once every hour. If the statistic exceeds two billion, an alarm is generated that triggers event index 100.
