Remote Monitoring allows a remote device to collect information or

respond to specified events on an independent basis. This switch is an

RMON-capable device which can independently perform a wide range of

tasks, significantly reducing network management traffic. It can

continuously run diagnostics and log information on network performance.

If an event is triggered, it can automatically notify the network

administrator of a failure and provide historical information about the

event. If it cannot connect to the management agent, it will continue to

perform any specified tasks and pass data back to the management station

the next time it is contacted.

The switch supports mini-RMON, which consists of the Statistics, History,

Event and Alarm groups. When RMON is enabled, the system gradually

builds up information about its physical interfaces, storing this information

in the relevant RMON database group. A management agent then

periodically communicates with the switch using the SNMP protocol.

However, if the switch encounters a critical event, it can automatically send
