Chapter 6 Remote Monitoring (RMON)<br />

Remote Monitoring (RMON) is supported on plat<strong>for</strong>m c e s<br />

This chapter describes <strong>the</strong> Remote Monitoring (RMON):<br />

• Implementation on page 127<br />

• Fault Recovery on page 128<br />

Remote Monitoring (RMON) is an industry-standard implementation that monitors network traffic by<br />

sharing network monitoring in<strong>for</strong>mation. RMON provides both 32-bit and 64-bit monitoring facility and<br />

long-term statistics collection on <strong>Force10</strong> E<strong>the</strong>rnet Interfaces.<br />

RMON operates with SNMP and monitors all nodes on a LAN segment. RMON monitors traffic passing<br />

through <strong>the</strong> router and segment traffic not destined <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> router. The monitored interfaces may be chosen<br />

by using alarms and events with standard MIBs.<br />

Implementation<br />

You must configure SNMP prior to setting up RMON. For a complete SNMP implementation discussion,<br />

refer to Chapter 4, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), on page 89.<br />

Configuring RMON requires using <strong>the</strong> RMON CLI and includes <strong>the</strong> following tasks:<br />

• Set rmon alarm<br />

• Configure an RMON event<br />

• Configure RMON collection statistics<br />

• Configure RMON collection history<br />

• Enable an RMON MIB collection history group<br />

RMON implements <strong>the</strong> following standard RFCs (<strong>for</strong> details see Appendix A):<br />

• RFC-2819<br />

• RFC-3273<br />

• RFC-3434<br />
