Chapter 23: RMON Configuration Guide

Allocating Memory to RMON

RMON allocates memory depending on the number of ports enabled for RMON, the
RMON groups that have been configured, and whether or not default tables have been
turned on or off. Enabling RMON with all groups (Lite, Standard, and Professional) with
default tables uses approximately 300 Kbytes per port. If necessary, you can dynamically
allocate additional memory to RMON.

To display the amount of memory that is currently allocated to RMON, use the following
CLI command in Enable mode:

Any memory allocation failures are reported. The following is an example of the
information shown with the rmon show status command:
