Variable definitions

The following table describes the RMON Insert Alarm dialog box fields.

Variable Value
Variable

Name and type of alarm—indicated by the format:

  • alarmname.x where x=0 indicates a chassis alarm.
  • alarmname. where you must specify the index. This is a card number for module-related alarms, an STG ID for spanning tree group alarms (the default STG is 1, other STG IDs are user-configured), or the Ether Statistics Control Index for RMON Stats alarms.
  • alarmname with no dot or index is a port-related alarm and displays in the port selection tool.
Sample Type

Specifies the sample type—absolute or delta.

Interval Specifies the time period (in seconds) over which the data is sampled and compared with the rising and falling thresholds.
Index Uniquely identifies an entry in the alarm table. Each such entry defines a diagnostic sample at a particular interval for an object on the device. Range is 1–65535.
RisingThreshold When the current sampled value is greater than or equal to this threshold, and the value at the last sampling interval is less than this threshold, generates a single event.
RisingEventIndex Specifies the index of the event entry that is used when a rising threshold is crossed. The event entry identified by a particular value of this index is the same as identified by the same value of the event index object. (Generally, accept the default that is already filled in.)
FallingThreshold When the current sampled value is less than or equal to this threshold, and the value at the last sampling interval is greater than this threshold, generates a single event.
FallingEventindexSpecifies the Specifies the index of the event entry that is used when a falling threshold is crossed. The event entry identified by a particular value of this index is the same as identified by the same value of the event index object. (Generally, accept the default that is already filled in.)
Owner Specifies the owner name.
