Chapter 5
Configuring remote network monitoring (RMON)
The RMON management information base (MIB) is an interface between the
RMON agent on a BayStack 380-24FSwitch and RMON management
applications such as the Web-based management user interface. It defines objects
that are suitable for the management of any type of network. Some groups are
specifically targeted for Ethernet networks.
The RMON agent continuously collects statistics and proactively monitors the
switch.
This RMON options available to you are:
“Configuring RMON fault threshold parameters”, (next)
“Viewing the RMON fault event log” on page 88
“Viewing the system log” on page 90
“Viewing RMON Ethernet statistics” on page 92
“Viewing RMON history” on page 96
Configuring RMON fault threshold parameters
Alarms are useful when you need to know when the value of some variable goes
out of range. RMON alarms can be defined on any MIB variable that resolves to
an integer value. String variables (such as system description) cannot be used as
alarm variables.
