RE: Track CRC error on 3550/3560 FE interface

I think you are asked to use the interface command 'rmon collection stats
(index)". Please see below an example.

SW1#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
SW1(config)#int f0/14
SW1(config-if)#rmon coll stats 1
SW1(config-if)#do sh rmon stat
Collection 1 on FastEthernet0/14 is active, and owned by monitor,
 Monitors ifIndex.22 which has
 Received 153962 octets, 1874 packets,
 0 broadcast and 1771 multicast packets,
 0 undersized and 0 oversized packets,
 0 fragments and 0 jabbers,
 0 CRC alignment errors and 0 collisions.
 # of dropped packet events (due to lack of resources): 0
 # of packets received of length (in octets):
  64: 292, 65-127: 1537, 128-255: 0,
  256-511: 45, 512-1023: 0, 1024-1518:0

I am wondering, how will you limit the rmon only for few interfaces, if I
want to?

HTH,
Shine

Hi all experts,

I am using cisco 3550 and 3560 switches.
If I want to implement a proactive monitoring by examining the CRC error
counter of any FE interface, how can I do that?

The only solution I think is to use "rmon alarm" and "rmon event' to issue a
log statement in syslog server and notify the NOC duty staff.
But, *how do I get the correct OID (eg ifEntry.x.x) of this object?* There
are too many MIB objects. I am not sure how to search.

Regards,
CH
