RMON
Using the Remote Monitoring (RMON) capabilities of the switch allows network administrators to
improve system efficiency and reduce the load on the network. The following sections explain more
about the RMON concept and the RMON features supported by the switch.
NOTE
You can only use the RMON features of the system if you have an RMON management application,
and have enabled RMON on the switch.
About RMON
RMON is the common abbreviation for the Remote Monitoring Management Information Base (MIB)
system defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) documents RFC 1271 and RFC 1757,
which allows you to monitor LANs remotely.
A typical RMON setup consists of the following two components:
config syslog delete <host name/ip> <facility>
{<priority>
Deletes a syslog host address.
• facility—The syslog facility level for
local use (local0 - local7).
• priority—Filters the log to display
messages with the selected priority or
higher (more critical). Priorities include
critical, emergency, alert, error, warning,
notice, info, and debug. If not specified, only
critical priority messages and are sent to the
syslog host.
disable cli-config-logging Disables configuration logging.
disable log display Disables the log display.
disable syslog Disables logging to a remote syslog host.
enable cli-config-logging Enables the logging of CLI configuration
commands to the Syslog for auditing purposes.
The default setting is enabled.
enable log display Enables the log display.
enable syslog Enables logging to a remote syslog host.
show log {<priority>} Displays the current snapshot of the log.
Specify the priority option to filter the log to
display message with the selected priority or
higher (more critical). Priorities include critical,
emergency, alert, error, warning, notice, info,
and debug. If not specified, all messages are
displayed.
show log config Displays the log configuration, including the
syslog host IP address, the priority level of
