RMON-Lite
This chapter explains how to configure the RMON-Lite screens.
19.1 RMON-Lite Overview
The Remote Network Monitoring Management Information Base (RMON MIB) defines
objects for managing remote network monitoring devices. The remote network monitoring
devices, referred to as monitors or probes, are usually stand-alone devices and devote
significant internal resources for the purposes of managing a network. There are a total of nine
RMON MIB groups defined in RFC 2819. The switch supports four of the RMON MIB
groups:
• Group 1 (Statistics)
• Group 2 (History)
• Group 3 (Alarm)
• Group 9 (Event)
The switch’s implementation is therefore referred to as RMON-Lite. The following sections
describe how to configure the RMON-Lite settings on the switch. Refer to RFC 2819 for more
information on RMON MIBs.
19.2 RMON Statistics : Overview
Click RMON-Lite in the navigation panel to open the RMON Statistics : Overview screen.
Use this screen to look at and configure settings for gathering statistics for the Ethernet ports
on the switch.
