Example 2
1. Configure the RMON Alarm parameters to track ICMP messages.
This configuration creates an RMON alarm that checks icmpInEchos on the switch once
every minute. If the statistic exceeds 200 within a 60 second interval, an alarm is generated that
triggers event index 110.
RMON group 9—Events
The RMON Event Group allows you to define events that are triggered by alarms. An event
can be a log message, an SNMP trap, or both.
When an alarm is generated, it triggers a corresponding event notification. Use the following
commands to correlate an Event index to an alarm:
RMON events use SNMP and syslogs to send notifications. Therefore, an SNMP trap host
must be configured for trap event notification to work properly.
RMON uses a syslog host to send syslog messages. Therefore, an existing syslog host must be
configured for event log notification to work properly. Each log event generates a syslog of
type RMON that corresponds to the event.
Configure RMON events
1. Configure the RMON event parameters.
This configuration creates an RMON event that sends a syslog message each time it is trig-
gered by an alarm.
