Field Description
Variable
Name and type of alarm--indicated by the format:
  • alarmname.x, where x=0 indicates a chassis alarm, x=1 or 2 indicates a power supply or fan alarm with 1 being the primary unit and 2 the secondary unit.
  • alarmname, where the user must specify the index. This value is a card number for module-related alarms, an STG ID for spanning tree group alarms (the default STG is 1; other STG IDs are user configured), an IP address for RIP or OSPF alarms (RIP/OSPF must be enabled on the VLAN or router port and enabled globally), or the Ether Statistics Control Index for RMON Stats alarms.
  • alarmname with no dot or index is a port-related alarm and results in display of the port picker tool.
Sample Type
Can be either absolute or delta.
Sample Interval
Time period (in seconds) over which the data is sampled and compared with the rising and falling thresholds.
Index
Uniquely identifies an entry in the alarm table. Each such entry defines a diagnostic sample at a particular interval for an object on the device.
Threshold Type
Rising Value
Falling Value
Value
When the current sampled value is greater than or equal to this threshold, and the value at the last sampling interval was less than this threshold, generates a single event.
When the current sampled value is less than or equal to this threshold, and the value at the last sampling interval was greater than this threshold, generates a single event.
Event Index
Index of the event entry that is used when a rising threshold is crossed. The event entry identified by a particular value of this index is the same as identified by the same value of the event index object. (Generally, accept the default that is already filled in.)
Index of the event entry that is used when a falling threshold is crossed. The event entry identified by a particular value of this index is the same as identified by the same value of the event index object. (Generally, accept the default that is already filled in.)
