Chapter 82: RMON

1336

Overview

The RMON (Remote MONitoring) MIB is used with SNMP applications to
monitor the operations of network devices. The switch supports the four
RMON MIB groups listed here:

Statistic group. This group is used to view port statistics remotely
with SNMP programs. For instructions, refer to “RMON Port
Statistics” on page 1337.

History group. This group is used to collect histories of port
statistics to identify traffic trends or patterns. For instructions, refer
to “RMON Histories” on page 1339.

Alarm group. This group is used to create alarms that trigger event
log messages or SNMP traps when statistics thresholds are
exceeded. For instructions, refer to “RMON Alarms” on page 1342.

Event group. This group is used with alarms to define the actions
of the switch when packet statistic thresholds are crossed. For
instructions, refer to “RMON Alarms” on page 1342.

For instructions on how to configure SNMP on the switch, refer to Chapter
73, “SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c” on page 1143 or
Chapter 74, “SNMPv1 and
SNMPv2c Commands” on page 1155.
