TIP
If you are familiar with the RMON MIB and/or with the original Alarm and Event
functionality provided by SPECTRUM Element Manager (now known as the Advanced
Alarm functionality), you will note that the Basic Alarm ConÞguration window combines
the three parts of creating a working alarm Ñ conÞguring the alarm itself, conÞguring an
event that will announce the occurrence of an alarm (including assigning any actions),
and linking the two Ñ into a single step, and handles the details transparently. For more
information about the individual steps involved in creating an alarm, see Advanced
Alarm ConÞguration, on page 3-11.
