Modeling RMON in SPECTRUM
This chapter describes the SPECTRUM views that contain RMON models, how to model and
configure devices that implement an RMON agent, and how to set up RMON as a network monitor
point.
How to Model RMON
Modeling RMON in SPECTRUM involves the following steps:
• Creating models of devices that support RMON
• Enabling the RMON Host and Default MIB components for a modeled
device
• Optionally selecting an RMON probe model as the monitor point for the
SPECTRUM network model
Creating a Device Model That Supports RMON
When you model RMON, the first step is to create a device model that
supports RMON.
Follow these steps to create a device model:
1. Navigate into SPECTRUM’s Universe Topology View.
2. Select Edit from the File menu.
3. Select New Model from the Edit menu.
NOTE
If you are modeling a Cabletron device, (see Enabling RMON for a Cabletron
Device on page 2-3) for steps you may have to perform before you create a
device model.
