Configuring RMON as a Network Monitor Point
Verifying the Monitor Point
Verifying the Monitor Point
The last step in the monitor point process is to verify that the RMON Probe is
selected as the monitor point for the LAN. If you configure the RMON Probe to
be the monitor point device, RMON segment performance data is presented in
the Performance View of the network model.
Within a network model, the device or probe model having the highest
Monitor Precedence value becomes the monitor point for that network model.
If more than one of these models has the same Monitor Precedence value, the
first model created is chosen.
The RMON Ethernet and Token Ring probes have monitor precedence values
of 60.
To verify that the RMON probe is the monitor point, perform the following
steps:
1. Navigate to the Topology view that contains the network model.
2. Highlight the probe’s network model by clicking on it.
3. Click the middle mouse button and select Information from the Icon
Subviews menu. The LAN Information View appears (see Figure 2-4).
4. Verify that the values displayed in the monitor point information fields
(located in the lower right portion of the view) indicate that the pasted
Probe model is now the monitor point.
NOTE
The RMONTRProbe application will not support monitor point capabilities
if the Token Ring Mac-Layer or Promiscuous Statistics group is not
supported by the device. Likewise, the RMONEthProbe application will not
support monitor point capabilities if the Ethernet Statistics group is not
supported by the device.
