288

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 290.

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 291.

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 293

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 295.
