SNMP and RMON Management
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) may be used to manage
the IntraCore 6524. The SNMP agent supports database objects that are
defined in the following management information bases (MIBs):
❑
MIB II (RFC 1213)
❑
Bridge MIB (RFC 1493)
❑
RMON (RFC 1757) 4 groups - Ethernet Statistics, Ethernet History,
Alarm, and Events (See next section for details)
❑
Private Asanté 6524 MIB
Any SNMP-based network management application can be used to manage the
IntraCore 6524. For information on management of switches, refer to your
SNMP software manual.
For details on console-based SNMP settings, see “SNMP Configuration” on
page 3-16.
RMON Management
Remote Network Monitoring (RMON) allows the network manager to gather
data on the network’s traffic for future retrieval. RMON is an Internet Standard
defined in RFC1757.
