Alarm Configuration

The top portion of the Basic Alarm Log window contains the device information boxes, as well as the Port Number assigned to the interface that experienced the alarm condition and the type of alarm that was triggered; the remainder of the window contains the following information about each alarm occurrence:

Index

This index number uniquely identifies each occurrence of

 

a rising or falling event. Note that, since the alarm whose

 

log is displayed in Figure 4-2experienced both rising and

 

falling alarms, there are two sets of event indices: one

 

which identifies each instance of the rising alarm, and

 

one which identifies each instance of the falling alarm.

For more information about the relationship between rising and falling alarms and the

TIP hysteresis function that controls the generation of alarm events, see How Rising and Falling Thresholds Work, on page 4-27.

Time

Indicates the date and time of each event occurrence.

Description

Provides a detailed description of the condition which

 

triggered the alarm, including whether it was a Rising or

 

Falling alarm, the Value which triggered the alarm, and

 

the configured Threshold that was crossed.

Each log will hold only a finite number of entries, which is determined by the resources available on the device; when the log is full, the oldest entries will be replaced by new ones.

Advanced Alarm Configuration

The Basic Alarm Configuration window provides a quick and easy way to set up some basic alarms for all of the interfaces on your MultiSwitch 700 module. However, if you prefer more control over the parameters of the alarms you set (as well as their associated events and actions) and/or a wider array of choices for each variable, the Advanced Alarm feature provides a powerful and flexible means for configuring alarms, events, and actions to suit your particular networking needs.

Accessing the RMON Advanced Alarm/Event List

To access the RMON Advanced Alarm/Event List window:

1.From the Device View, click on the appropriate port interface to display the Port menu; select Alarm Configuration.

2.In the Basic Alarm Configuration window, click on the Advanced button; the RMON Advanced Alarm/Event List window, Figure 4-3, will appear.
