Setting Switch Parameters
The first thing Dean wants to check is the utilization for every port that supports workgroup access switches.
Port statistics are collected and stored in the mini-RMON Management Information Base (MIB) on the switch
itself. In mini-RMON, only a few of the RMON groups are collected: statistics, history, alarms, and events.
For the NAM to retrieve and display statistics stored on the switch, it must make a Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) query to the switch. Use the following steps to ensure SNMP connectivity
between the NAM and the host switch, and to enable/verify that mini-RMON is enabled on the switch:
Step 1. Click the Setup tab. A set of six setup options are displayed in the content window directly under
the tabs. Note that the color of the selected tab (Setup in this case) matches the bar directly
underneath, which displays the options for the tab selected. The text of the selected tab is black.
All unselected tabs are darker in color with white text.
Step 2. Click on the Switch Parameters option. The Switch Parameter text underneath the tab turns
black to indicate it is selected. A sub-menu is displayed on the left-side of the screen with further
options for Setup > Switch Parameters.
Step 3. Click Switch Information. The Switch Information dialog is displayed. Verify that the NAM has
SNMP connectivity to the switch.
Step 4. From the sub-menu, click Port Stats (Mini-RMON). The Port Stats (Mini-RMON) dialog is
displayed. Verify that Mini-RMON is enabled. If not, select enable. (If using a Cat IOS device,
then click Save for the changes to be written to the start-up config).
Step 5. To see details of which ports are enabled for mini-RMON, click Details.
