Events

An event specifies the action of the switch when the ingress packet activity
on a port crosses a statistical threshold defined in an alarm. The choices
are to log a message in the event log of the switch, send an SNMP trap to
an SNMP workstation, or both. Since there are only three possible actions,
and since events can be used with more than one alarm, you probably will
not create more than three events - one for each of the three actions.

Perform the following procedure to configure RMON events.

1. From the main menu on the left side of the page, click the RMON

folder.

The RMON folder expands.

2. From the RMON folder, select Event.

The RMON Event Settings Page is displayed. See Figure 106.

Type: This parameter specifies where to log the event when it
occurs. The choices are to log a message in the event log of the
