An
RMON alarm
allows you to monitor a MIB object for a desired transitory state. An alarm
periodically takes samples of the object's value and compares them to the configured thresholds.
RMON allows you to configure two types of sampling, absolute and delta:
y
Absolute
sampling compares the sample value directly to the threshold. This sampling is
similar to a gauge, recording values that go up or down.
y
Delta
sampling subtracts the current sample value from the last sample taken, and then
compares the difference to the threshold. This sampling is similar to a counter, recording a
value that is constantly increasing.
To set an RMON alarm, use the following commands in Privileged mode:
