Chapter 5 RMON<br />

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

• Implementation on page 97<br />

• Fault Recovery on page 98<br />

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

sharing network monitoring information. RMON provides both 32-bit and 64-bit monitoring facility and<br />

long-term statistics collection on <strong>Force10</strong> Ethernet Interfaces.<br />

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

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

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

Implementation<br />

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

• Adding RMON data collection<br />

• Removing RMON data collection<br />

• Event settings<br />

• Alarm settings<br />

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

• RFC-2819<br />

• RFC-3273<br />

• RFC-3434<br />
