4.18 RMON

RMON is the most important expansion of the standard SNMP. RMON is a set of MIB definitions, used to define standard network

monitor functions and interfaces, enabling the communication between SNMP management terminals and remote monitors. RMON

provides a highly efficient method to monitor actions inside the subnets.

MID of RMON consists of 10 groups. The switch supports the most frequently used group 1, 2, 3 and 9:

Statistics:

Maintain basic usage and error statistics for each subnet monitored by the Agent.

History:

Record periodical statistic samples available from Statistics.

Alarm:

Allow management console users to set any count or integer for sample intervals and alert thresholds for RMON

Agent records.

Event:

A list of all events generated by RMON Agent.

Alarm depends on the implementation of Event. Statistics and History display some current or history subnet statistics. Alarm and

Event provide a method to monitor any integer data change in the network, and provide some alerts upon abnormal events (sending

Trap or record in logs).
