> # Enabling 32-Bit and 64-Bit RMON Alarms for Physical Components

> ## Detailed Steps

> To configure an RMON alarm for a physical component for a 64-bit alarm, follow these steps:

> 1. Choose Admin > Events > Threshold Manager and click the Physical tab.

> You see the Threshold Manager dialog box with the Physical tab for the 64-bit alarm selected.

> 2. Check the check box in the Select column for each variable to monitor.
> 3. Enter the threshold value in the Value column.
> 4. Enter the sampling period in seconds.
> 5. Choose one of the following severity levels to assign to the alarm: Fatal(1), Warning(2), Critical(3), Error(4), Information(5).
> 6. Click Create.
> 7. Confirm the operation to define an alarm and a log event when the system prompts you to define a severity event.

> If you do not confirm the operation, the system only defines a log event.

> 8. Click More, and then click the 64-bit Alarms tab in the Threshold Manager dialog box to verify the alarm you created.

> Note The MaxAlarm option is noneditable because of backend support. The max RMON alarms cannot be set using the CLI.
