Chapter 6 Configuring Remote Monitoring (RMON) Configuring an RMON Event Setting the RMON Event Attributes After you create an RMON event index, access RMON event configuration mode for the event identifier and set its attributes. This section includes the following topics: • Defining an Event Community • Describing an Event • Assigning an Owner • Defining the Notification of an Event After you set the attributes, activate the event as described in the "Activating an RMON Event" section. If an RMON event is activated and you want to make modifications to certain event attributes, you must first suspend the RMON event (as described in the "Suspending an RMON Event" section). Ensure the RMON event is not assigned to an RMON alarm. Defining an Event Community When an alarm event occurs and the event is configured to send an SNMP trap, the CSS sends the trap to the trap host with the specified community. If no community is specified the CSS automatically uses the default event community of "public". Use the community community_name command to define a community for an unactivated event. The community_name variable is the name of the SNMP community you configured using the snmp trap-host command (refer to Chapter 5, Configuring Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)). To view a list of currently configured community strings (configured using the snmp trap-host command), enter rmon-event community ? For example, to define the SNMP moonbase_alpha community for this event, enter: (config-rmonevent[1])# community moonbase_alpha To reset the community back to public, enter: (config-rmonevent[1])# no community OL-5647-02 Cisco Content Services Switch Administration Guide 6-7
