network without costing more than traditional network
management.
The 480T routing switch accurately maintains RMON statistics at
the maximum line rate of all of its ports. For example, statistics can
be related to individual ports.
RMON Probe with Security Features Enabled
A probe must be able to monitor all traffic. Unlike Intels built-in
probe, a stand-alone probe must be attached to a nonsecure port.
Implementing RMON in the 480T routing switch allows for all
ports to have security features enabled.
To enable or disable the collection of RMON statistics on the
switch, use this command:
[enable | disable] rmon
By default, RMON is disabled. However, even in the disabled state,
the 480T routing switch responds to RMON queries and sets for
alarms and events. By enabling RMON, the switch begins the
processes necessary for collecting switch statistics.
Event Actions
The actions that you can define for each alarm are shown in
Table 19.6.
To be notified of events using SNMP traps, you must configure one
or more trap receivers.
