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
