ExtremeWare 7.7 Command Reference Guide 747
disable rmon
disable rmon
Description
Disables the collection of RMON statistics on the switch.
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or variables.
Default
By default, RMON is disabled. However, even when RMON is disabled, the switch responds to RMON
queries and sets for alarms and events.
Usage Guidelines
The switch supports four out of nine groups of Ethernet RMON statistics. With RMON disabled, the
switch continues to respond to the following two groups:
• Alarms—The Alarms group provides a versatile, general mechanism for setting threshold and
sampling intervals to generate events on any RMON variable. Both rising and falling thresholds are
supported, and thresholds can be on the absolute value of a variable or its delta value. In addition,
alarm thresholds may be auto calibrated or set manually.
• Events—The Events group creates entries in an event log and/or sends SNMP traps to the
management workstation. An event is triggered by an RMON alarm. The action taken can be
configured to ignore it, to log the event, to send an SNMP trap to the receivers listed in the trap
receiver table, or to both log and send a trap. The RMON traps are defined in RFC 1757 for rising
and falling thresholds.
To view the status of RMON polling on the switch, use the
show management
command. The
show
management
command displays information about the switch including the enable/disable state for
RMON polling.
Example
The following command disables the collection of RMON statistics on the switch:
