The event IDs are highlighted in the alarm statement.Figure 4-48. Configuring an RMON AlarmSetting the System Date and TimeThis section describes how to configure the date and time on the switch. The date and time are used forsynchronizing network resources, particularly the timestamps in logs (see System Logs on page 101).You have the option of using the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) feature or simply setting theclock (both date and time) manually. Once set, the clock updates automatically through a system reboot orshutdown.This section contains the following major sub-sections:• Setting the System Date and Time Manually• SNTP Overview• CLI Examples of SNTP Setup on page 80Setting the System Date and Time ManuallyUse the clock time {dd/mm/yyyy | hh:mm:ss} command in Global Config mode to set the software clock.Enter either the date in dd/mm/yyyy format (for example, 10/01/2007 for October 1, 2007) or the time inhh:mm:ss format (for example, 22:45:00, for 10:45 P.M.). If you enter only one parameter (either date ortime), while leaving the other parameter unchanged, the unchanged parameter continues to be based on theprevious command execution.Note: Setting the timezone is not supported.Force10# configForce10 (config)#rmon event 10Force10 (config)#rmon event 20Force10 (config)#rmon alarm 50 1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.1.1.16.0.2 absolute rising-threshold 200 10falling-threshold 100 20Force10 (config)#exitForce10# show rmonRMON statusTotal memory used ..................... 202260 bytes.Ether statistics table ................ 2 entries, 1184 bytesEther history table ................... 9 entries, 198876 bytesAlarm table ........................... 2 entries, 536 bytesEvent table ........................... 4 entries, 1664 bytesLog table ............................. 0 entries, 0 bytesForce10#
