258

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
information about configuring a Statistics group, refer
to “Port Statistics” on page 260.

History group— This group is used to collect histories
of port statistics to identify traffic trends or patterns. For
information about configuring a History group, refer to
“Histories” on page 262.

Event group— This group is used with alarms to define
the actions of the switch when packet statistic
thresholds are crossed. For information about
configuring an Event group, refer to “Events” on
page 264.

Alarm group—This group is used to create alarms that
trigger event log messages or SNMP traps when
statistics thresholds are exceeded. For information
about configuring an Alarm group, refer to “Alarms” on
page 266.
