Configuring RMON using Device
Manager
The Remote Network Monitoring (RMON) MIB is an interface between
the RMON agent on an Ethernet Switch and an RMON management
application, such as the Device Manager.
The RMON MIB defines objects that are suitable for the management of
any type of network, but some groups are targeted for Ethernet networks
in particular.
The RMON agent continuously collects statistics and proactively monitors
switch performance. You can view this data through the Device Manager.
RMON has three major functions:
•
Creating and displaying alarms for user-defined events
•
Gathering cumulative statistics for Ethernet interfaces
•
Tracking a history of statistics for Ethernet interfaces
This chapter contains the following topics:

Working with RMON information
You can view RMON information by looking at the Graph information
associated with the port or chassis.
