3com 5104M-FIB User Manual

Use the SET RMON ALARM command to set up an alarm that triggers an event 
based on the parameters you specify. 

Each sample is compared against two thresholds, a rising threshold and a falling 
threshold. Each sample can be either an absolute value or a delta value (the 
difference between the current value and the value of the previous sample). If 
the value crosses the threshold, an event associated with that threshold may be 
generated. The threshold is not rearmed until the opposite threshold is crossed 
(rising or falling). This prevents the generation of multiple events as a sample 
crosses just above and below a specific threshold. 

The interface whose statistics you are collecting. Use the SHOW INTERFACE 
command for a list of interface numbers.

The type of statistics you want to collect. The list of statistics are:

■

BroadcastPackets 

■

Collisions

■

CRCAlignErrors

■

Fragments

■

Jabbers

■

MulticastPackets

■

Octets

■

OversizePackets

■

Packets

■

UndersizePackets

The specific instance for the selected statistics type.

Introduces the parameters for the rising threshold. 

Introduces the parameters for the falling threshold. 

The statistic value falling below the threshold triggers the event.

Index number of the RMON event triggered by the rising or falling threshold. Use the 
SET RMON EVENT command to create events, and the SHOW RMON EVENTS 
command to view event index numbers.

Time between samples in hh:mm format.

Specifies that the first event must be triggered by the rising threshold.

Specifies that the first event must be triggered by the falling threshold.

Specifies that the first event can be triggered by the rising threshold or falling 
threshold.

Specifies that the threshold value is compared to the change in the statistic value 
since the last sample.

Specifies that the threshold value is compared to the absolute statistic value.
