SNMP and RMON Management
RMON is an abbreviation for the
Remote Monitoring MIB
(Management Information Base). RMON is a system
defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) document RFC1757, which defines how networks can be
monitored remotely.
RMONs typically consist of two components:
The RMON probe
- is an intelligent device or software agent that continually collects statistics about a LAN
segment or VLAN. The RMON probe transfers the collected data to a management workstation on request
or when a predefined threshold is reached.
The management workstation
- collects the statistics that the RMON probe gathers. The workstation can
reside on the same network as the probe, or it can have an in-band or out-of-band connection to the probe.
The 2600M provides RMON capabilities that allow network administrators to set parameters and view statistical
counters defined in MIB-II, Bridge MIB, and RMON MIB. RMON activities are performed at a Network
Management Station running an SNMP network management application with graphical user interface.
