RMON Configuration Using Threshold Manager

</h1>
<a name="wp1318536"> </a><p class="pBody">
RMON is disabled by default and no events or alarms are configured in the switch. You can configure 
your RMON alarms and events by using the CLI or by using Threshold Manager in Device Manager. 

</p>
<a name="wp1318538"> </a><p class="pBody">
The Threshold Monitor allows you to trigger an SNMP event or log a message when the selected statistic 
goes over a configured threshold value. RMON calls this a rising alarm threshold. The configurable 
settings are as follows:

</p>
<div class="pSmartList1"><ul class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp1318539"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Variable&#8212;The statistic you want to set the threshold value on.
</li>
<a name="wp1318540"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Value&#8212;The value of the variable that you want the alarm to trigger at. This value is the difference 
(delta) between two consecutive polls of the variable by Device Manager.
</li>
<a name="wp1318541"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Sample&#8212;The sample period (in seconds) between two consecutive polls of the variable. Select your 
sample period such that the variable does not cross the threshold value you set under normal 
operating conditions.
</li>
<a name="wp1318542"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Warning&#8212;The warning level used by Device Manager to indicate the severity of the triggered alarm. 
This is a DCNM-SAN and Device Manager enhancement to RMON.
</li>
</ul></div>
<a name="wp1318543"> </a><p class="pBodyAutonumNoRule">
<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> To configure any type of RMON alarm (absolute or delta, rising or falling threshold) click <span style="font-weight: bold">More</span> on the 
Threshold Manager dialog box. You should be familiar with how RMON defines these concepts before 
configuring these advanced alarm types. Refer to the RMON-MIB (RFC 2819) for information on how 
to configure RMON alarms.

</p>
<a name="wp1318544"> </a><p class="pBodyAutonumNoRule">
<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> You must also configure SNMP on the switch to access RMON MIB objects.
