RMON Configuration Configuring and Enabling RMON
You can configure each level of RMON support independently of each other with default tables on or off. For example,
you can configure Lite with default tables on for ports et.1.(1-8) and then configure Standard with no default tables for
the same ports. You cannot configure Lite on one set of ports and Standard on another set of ports.
