Configuring RMON
Events
Use the Administration > RMON (Configure Global - Add - Event) page to set the
action to take when an alarm is triggered. The response can include logging the
alarm or sending a message to a trap manager. Alarms and corresponding events
provide a way of immediately responding to critical network problems.
Command Usage
◆
If an alarm is already defined for an index, the entry must be deleted before any
changes can be made.
◆
One default event is configured as follows:
event Index = 1
