Alarms and Traps
Alarms and traps let you configure RMON data sources to alert you
when interesting activity occurs on the network. You define what “inter-
esting activity” is, and you control what happens when the data source
detects it.
When you define alarms and traps, you essentially tell a data source
what to look for on the network and what to do (or who to notify) when
the data source sees it. For example, you might configure an alarm to
monitor octet counts per second. When the count rises above the value
you specify, the alarm triggers and sends a trap—a message to your man-
agement station—indicating that the count exceeded the threshold you
specified.
The following pages explain how to configure trap destinations and
alarms and gives examples showing their use.
For a list of what data sources work with Alarms and Traps, refer to
table 1 on page 18.
