Name and type of alarm--indicated by the format: alarmname.x where x=0 indicates a chassis alarm. alarmname. where the user must specify the index. This index 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), 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 selection 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 | After 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. | After 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 after 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 after 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.) |
