Configuring RMON Ethernet group statistics collection
You can collect RMON Ethernet group statistics on an interface. RMON alarms and events must be
configured for you to display collection statistics. By default, RMON Ethernet group statistics are not
enabled.
To collect RMON Ethernet group statistics on an interface, perform the following steps from privileged
EXEC mode.
1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
switch# configure terminal
2. Enter the interface command to specify the Data Center Bridging (DCB) interface type and slot/port
number.
The gigabitethernet rbridge-id/slot/port operand is used only for the Brocade VDX 6710, Brocade
VDX 8770-4, and Brocade VDX 8770-8. The prompt for these ports is in the following example
format: switch(config-if-gi-22/0/1)#.
switch(config)# interface tengigabitethernet 0/1
3. Enable the DCB interface.
switch(conf-if-te-0/1)# no shutdown
4. Configure RMON Ethernet group statistics on the interface.
switch(conf-if-te-0/1)# rmon collection stats 200 owner john_smith
5. Return to privileged EXEC mode.
switch(conf-if-te-0/1)# end
6. Enter the copy command to save the running-config file to the startup-config file.
switch# copy running-config startup-config
Configuring RMON alarm settings
To configure RMON alarms and events, perform the following steps from privileged EXEC mode.
1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
switch# configure terminal
2. Configure the RMON alarms.
Example of an alarm that tests every sample for a rising threshold
switch(config)# rmon alarm 5 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1.1.5.65535 interval 30
absolute rising-threshold 95 event 27 owner john_smith
Example of an alarm that tests the delta between samples for a falling threshold
switch(config)# rmon alarm 5 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1.1.5.65535 interval 10 delta
falling-threshold 65 event 42 owner john_smith
3. Return to privileged EXEC mode.
switch(config)# end
4. Save the running-config file to the startup-config file.
switch# copy running-config startup-config
5. To view configured alarms, use the show running-config rmon alarm command.
