It reduces the load on the network and the management
workstation
Traditional network management involves a management workstation
polling network devices at regular intervals to gather statistics and
identify problems or trends. As network sizes and traffic levels grow,
this approach places a strain on the management workstation and
also generates large amounts of traffic.
RMON, however, autonomously looks at the network on behalf of the
management workstation without affecting the characteristics and
performance of the network. RMON reports by exception, which
means that it only informs the management workstation when the
network has entered an abnormal state.
RMON and the
Switch
The RMON support provided by your Switch 4400 is detailed in Table 10 .
