“switch8” goes down.

Example 1.

a Uncheck the All devices and ports checkbox.
b Select “Device” in the Source Type field, instead of “Port.”
c Select “switch8” from the Device list as in Example 1.

Example 3: In a Windows NT environment (where both the EPICenter server and client are running
under Windows), define an alarm that will pop up a message on the Windows client system “joe” if the
port utilization on port 10 on device “switch8” exceeds 15 percent.
This alarm requires an RMON rule with a Rising Threshold of 15 percent for port utilization. You can
define the RMON rule either before or after you define the alarm. See “RMON Rule Configuration
Example” on page 150for an example of how to create the RMON rule.
To create the alarm definition:
1 Bring up the New Alarm Definition dialog. On the Basic page, fill in the Name and Category fields,
and check the Enabled checkbox, just as you did in Example 1.
a Select “RMON Rising Trap” in the Event Type field.
b Enter the RMON rule name in the Event Name field:
If you have already created the RMON rule, you can select it from the pull-down menu in the
Event Name
field. For example, if you named the rule “WAN Link 15%”, that name should
appear in the pull-down menu.
If you have not yet created the RMON rule, type in a name for the rule (for example, “WAN Link
15%”). You will need to use this name for the rule when you create it.
