hostControlTable. So, only IP can be set in the protocol directory group and other protocols are
invalid.
2.3 Configuring RMON
This section describes how to monitor the network status and traffic through RMON.
2.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Before configuring RMON, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment, complete the
pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required data. This can help you complete the
configuration task quickly and accurately.
2.3.2 Enabling the RMON Statistics Function on the Interface
You need to enable traffic statistics function on the interface where traffic statistics are collected.
If the traffic statistics function is not enabled on the interface, statistics values of in both
ethernetStatsTable and HistoryControlTable are 0.
2.3.3 Configuring the ethernetStatsTable
EthernetStatsTable records traffic information that RMON collects on interfaces.
2.3.4 Configuring the HistoryControlTable
HistoryControlTable provides the historical data management function. With this function, you
can sample traffic of a certain interface, set the maximum number of items to be saved and the
sampling interval, collect traffic statistics on the specific interface periodically, and save the
statistics to etherHistoryTable for future use.
2.3.5 Configuring the EventTable
After EventTable is configured, when the number of events exceeds the alarm threshold, the
switch generates logs, sends traps, or generates logs and sends traps.
2.3.6 Configuring the AlarmTable
The RMON alarm management function monitors a specified trap variable identified by its OID
at a specified sampling interval. When the monitored variable exceeds the defined threshold, an
alarm is generated.
2.3.7 Configuring the PrialarmTable
Compared with AlarmTable, PrialarmTable is enhanced with the function of setting the trap
object through an expression.
2.3.8 Checking the Configuration
After configuring RMON, you can view the traffic statistics collected by RMON.
2.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Before configuring RMON, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment, complete the
pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required data. This can help you complete the
configuration task quickly and accurately.
Applicable Environment
To monitor network status and collect traffic statistics on a network segment, you can configure
RMON.
Enabling the RMON function does not need any special requirement. You can enable it in
advance, or configure it when you suspect that the traffic of the sub-network where interface
resides is abnormal. You can configure RMON depending on actual situations.
