Managing the Resource Threshold Monitor

The resource threshold monitor (RTM) allows you to set the rising and falling thresholds and trap hold-down times for certain interfaces. You can also view the resource threshold information.

You may want to set thresholds for certain interface resources on the router. The RTM allows you to specify rising and falling thresholds as well as hold-down times for certain interfaces by using the resource if-type and resource threshold commands.

To configure thresholds, trap hold-down times and trap message issuance:

• Specify rising and falling thresholds and hold-down times for certain interfaces on a slot or systemwide basis.
  host1(config)#resource if-type ip slot 4 falling 500

  Use the no version to set the threshold parameter to its default value (for rising, 90 percent of the maximum value of the resource; for falling, 1 percent of the maximum value of the resource; for hold-down time, 300 seconds).

• Disable the issuance of trap messages when the router reaches preset threshold limits.
  host1(config)#resource threshold disable traps

  Use the no version to reenable traps for resource threshold conditions.
