The Basic Alarms feature allows you to assign alarms to any interface type; using the Advanced Alarms feature, you need only be sure to select variables appropriate to the interface Ñ Ethernet for Ethernet, Token Ring for Token Ring, etc. Ñ when deÞning your alarms.
As long as there is at least one Ethernet or Fast Ethernet module installed in your
TIP SmartSwitch 7000 chassis, you can use the RMON Alarms feature to conÞgure alarms for MIB objects on FDDI, ATM, and other interfaces that donÕt speciÞcally support RMON: the Basic Alarms window provides MIB II objects as alarm variables; Advanced Alarm conÞguration allows you to select any object as an alarm variable, as long as its value is deÞned as an integer and you assign the correct instance value. See step 5 on page
Basic Alarm Configuration
Using the Basic Alarm ConÞguration application, you can deÞne both rising and falling alarm thresholds for three selected
In addition to conÞguring separate rising and falling thresholds, you can also conÞgure your deviceÕs response to an alarm condition: when a threshold is crossed, the RMON device can create a log of alarm events, send a trap notifying your management workstation that an alarm condition has occurred, or both; you can even conÞgure an alarm to enable or disable bridging on the offending port in response to a rising or falling alarm condition.
