RMON events and alarms work together to notify you when values in your network are outside of a specified range. When values pass the specified ranges, the alarm is triggered and "fires." The event specifies how the activity is recorded.
When RMON is globally enabled, two default events are generated:
The default events specify that when an alarm goes out of range, the "firing" of the alarm will be tracked in both a trap and a log. For example, when an alarm fires at the rising threshold, the rising event specifies that this information be sent to both a trap and a log. Likewise, when an alarm passes the falling threshold, the falling event specifies that this information be sent to a trap and a log.
