Enable and Disable RMON

You can use your SNMP Network Management System (NMS) software
and the RMON section of the MIB tree to view the RMON statistics, history
and alarms associated with specific ports. Because RMON uses the
SNMP agent for communicating with your NMS software, the SNMP Agent
must be enabled, and the SNMP feature must be configured on your
switch.

Because RMON works in conjunction with the SNMP agent, the SNMP
agent must be enabled for the RMON feature to be active. See “User
Interface Configuration” on page 45 for activating
SNMP. For instructions
on how to configure SNMP on your switch, refer to Chapter 16, “SNMPv1
and v2c” on page 209 or Chap
ter 17, “SNMPv3” on page 223.

Perform the following procedure to activate RMON:

1. From the main menu on the left side of the page, click the RMON

folder.
The RMON folder expands.

2. From the RMON folder, select Global Settings.

The RMON Basic Settings Page is displayed. See Figure 101.
