> # RMON Alarm Configuration Information

> Threshold Manager provides a list of common MIB objects to set an RMON threshold and alarm on. The alarm feature monitors a specific MIB object for a specified interval, triggers an alarm at a specified value (rising threshold), and resets the alarm at another value (falling threshold).

> You can also set an alarm on any MIB object. The specified MIB must be an existing SNMP MIB object in standard dot notation (1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.14.16777216 16 16777216 for ifInOctets.167772161616777216).

> Use one of the following options to specify the interval to monitor the MIB variable (ranges from 1 to 4294967295 seconds):

> - Use the delta option to test the change between samples of a MIB variable.
> - Use the absolute option to test each MIB variable directly.
> - Use the delta option to test any MIB objects that are counters.

> The range for the rising threshold and falling threshold values is -2147483647 to 2147483647.

> Caution | The falling threshold must be less than the rising threshold.

> You can optionally specify the following parameters:

> - The event-number to trigger if the rising or falling threshold exceeds the specified limit.
> - The owner of the alarm.
