Chapter 6
Configuring RMON using Device
Manager

The Remote Network Monitoring (RMON) MIB is an interface between
the RMON agent on an Ethernet Switch and an RMON management
application, such as the Device Manager.

The RMON MIB defines objects that are suitable for the management of
any type of network, but some groups are targeted for Ethernet networks
in particular.

The RMON agent continuously collects statistics and proactively monitors
switch performance. You can view this data through the Device Manager.

RMON has three major functions:

Creating and displaying alarms for user-defined events

Gathering cumulative statistics for Ethernet interfaces

Tracking a history of statistics for Ethernet interfaces

This chapter contains the following topics:
