[c-nsp] bandwidth threshold trap w/o filtering

[Mihyar Baroudi]

You can use the built-in EEM feature to do this easily:

Router(config)#event manager applet MyApplet
Router(config-applet)#event interface name FastEthernet0 parameter txload entry-val 230 entry-op gt entry-val-is-increment false
exit-val 150 exit-op lt exit-val-is-increment false poll-interval 60
Router(config-applet)#action 1.0 snmp-trap strdata "FastEthernet0 txload out of range"

You can get help building these EEM applets with the Progrizon Policy Builder web-based tool at:
