After you configure the alarm attributes, you can activate the alarm. However,
before you can activate an alarm, you must specify all attributes for the alarm.
To activate the alarm, enter:
(config-rmonalarm[1])# active
Note the following when activating an RMON alarm, once an RMON alarm is
activated and you want to make modifications to certain alarm attributes, you must
first suspend the RMON alarm.
Suspending an RMON alarm deactivates it, allowing you to make changes to its
configuration settings. To suspend an alarm, use the suspend command.
For example:
(config-rmonalarm[1])# suspend
You can configure the operation of the RMON history that periodically samples
any CSS Ethernet port for statistical data. All ports are preconfigured with
histories for 30-second and 30-minute intervals, and 50 buckets with one sample
for each bucket. However, you can create additional histories for a specific port.
The creation of an RMON history for a port allows you to configure the time
interval to take the sample and the number of samples you want to save.
You can view the statistical information for the history by using the show
rmon-history command. For more information about viewing the history, see the
"Viewing History"
section.
