Enabling RMON for a Cabletron Device
• Community Name—The Community Name assigned locally to this
device. The default value is public. See your network administrator to
verify that the Community Name has not been changed from public to
another access policy name before modeling this device.
• Location—The location where the device is installed. This field is
optional.
• Contact—The contact person or group who can provide
troubleshooting help. This field is optional.
• Serial Number—The device’s serial number.
• Security String— A SPECTRUM Security String for the device
model.
• Polling Interval—The interval, in seconds, during which
SpectroSERVER reads all attributes of the model that are flagged as
POLLED. The default value is 60 seconds.
• Log Ratio—The number of poll cycles that must occur before
SpectroSERVER records any attributes that are flagged as LOGGED.
The default value is 10.

Enabling RMON for a Cabletron Device
In order for SPECTRUM’s modeling process to detect RMON’s presence and
create the appropriate RMON models, you must enable the RMON Host and
RMON Default MIB components on the device. In addition, you must verify
that the community names for the Host and Default MIB components match
the community names you used when you modeled the device.
If these components are not enabled or their community names do not match
the community names used when modeling the device, either of two things
can happen:
• The RMON models will not appear in the device model’s Application View
• The RMON models will not contain the entire set of RMON menu
selections
If you suspect either of these problems has occurred on a device you have
modeled, or if you want to verify these settings, you can access the component
and community name information through the component table in the
Configuration View of your device model.
