Figure 68 Alarm variable list

Alarm variables are in three formats, depending on the type:

•A chassis alarm ends in .x where the x index is hard-coded. No further information is required.

•A card, spanning tree group (STG) or EtherStat alarm ends with a dot (.). You must enter a card number, STG ID, IP address, or EtherStat information.

•A port alarm ends with no dot or index and requires using the port shortcut menu. An example of a port alarm would be ifInOctets (interface incoming octet count).

For this example, select Bridge > dot1dStpTopChanges.0 from the variable list. This example is a chassis alarm, indicated by the “.0” in the variable.

3For this example, select a rising value of 4 and a falling value of 0.

4Leave the remaining fields at their default values, including a sample type of Delta.Click Insert.
