Chapter 28. Remote Monitoring
Remote Monitoring (RMON) allows network devices to exchange network
monitoring data.
RMON allows the switch to perform the following functions:
•
Track events and trigger alarms when a threshold is reached.
• Notify administrators by issuing a syslog message or SNMP trap.
RMON Overview
The RMON MIB provides an interface between the RMON agent on the switch and
an RMON management application. The RMON MIB is described in RFC 1757.
The RMON standard defines objects that are suitable for the management of
Ethernet networks. The RMON agent continuously collects statistics and proactively
monitors switch performance. RMON allows you to monitor traffic flowing through
the switch.
The switch supports the following RMON Groups, as described in RFC 1757:
•
Group 1: Statistics
• Group 2: History
• Group 3: Alarms
• Group 9: Events
RMON Group 1—Statistics
The switch supports collection of Ethernet statistics as outlined in the RMON
statistics MIB, in reference to etherStatsTable. You can configure RMON statistics
on a per-port basis.
RMON statistics are sampled every second, and new data overwrites any old data
on a given port.
Note: RMON port statistics must be enabled for the port before you can view
RMON statistics.
