Table 174 RMON Alarm Menu options

Command

Description

 

 

sample absdelta

Configures the method of sampling the selected variable and calculating

 

the value to be compared against the thresholds, as follows:

 

abs: absolute value, the value of the selected variable is compared directly

 

with the thresholds at the end of the sampling interval.

 

delta: delta value, the value of the selected variable at the last sample is

 

subtracted from the current value, and the difference compared with the

 

thresholds.

 

 

almtype risingfallingeither

Configures the alarm type as rising, falling, or either (rising or falling).

 

 

rlimit < -2147483647 to

Configures the rising threshold for the sampled statistic. When the current

2147483647>

sampled value is greater than or equal to this threshold, and the value at

 

the last sampling interval was less than this threshold, a single event is

 

generated.

flimit < -2147483647 to 2147483647>

Configures the falling threshold for the sampled statistic. When the current sampled value is less than or equal to this threshold, and the value at the last sampling interval was greater than this threshold, a single event is generated.

revtidx <0-65535>

Configures the rising alarm event index that is triggered when a rising

 

threshold is crossed.

 

The range is from 0 to 65535. The default value is 0.

 

 

fevtidx <0-65535>

Configures the falling alarm event index that is triggered when a falling

 

threshold is crossed.

 

The range is from 0 to 65535. The default value is 0.

 

 

owner <1-127 characters>

Enter a text string that identifies the person or entity that uses this alarm

 

index.

 

The owner can have a maximum of 127 characters.

 

 

delete

Deletes this alarm index.

Display All Mirrored and Monitoring Ports

 

 

 

The Port Mirroring Configuration Menu is used to configure, enable, and disable the monitored port. When enabled, network packets being sent and/or received on a target port are duplicated and sent to a monitor port. By attaching a network analyzer to the monitor port, you can collect detailed information about your network performance and usage. Port mirroring is disabled by default.

NOTE: See the “Troubleshooting tools” appendix in the HP GbE2c Ethernet Blade Switch for c-Class BladeSystem Application Guide for information on how to use port mirroring.

The following table describes the Port Mirroring Configuration Menu options.
