Remote Monitoring (RMON)

The Dell Networking Operating System (OS) remote monitoring (RMON) is based on IEEE standards,

providing both 32-bit and 64-bit monitoring and long-term statistics collection.

RMON supports the following RMON groups, as defined in RFC-2819, RFC-3273, RFC-3434 and

RFC-4502:

• Ethernet Statistics Table; RFC-2819

• Ethernet Statistics High-Capacity Table; RFC-3273, 64bits

• Ethernet History Control Table; RFC-2819

• Ethernet History Table; RFC-2819

• Ethernet History High-Capacity Table; RFC-3273, 64bits

• Alarm Table; RFC-2819

• High-Capacity Alarm Table (64bits); RFC-3434, 64bits

• Event Table; RFC-2819

• Log Table; RFC-2819

• User History; RFC-4502

• Probe Configuration (Capabilities, SoftwareRev, HardwareRev, Date Time and ResetControl);

RFC-4502

RMON does not support the following statistics:

• etherStatsCollisions

• etherHistoryCollisions

• etherHistoryUtilization

NOTE: Only simple network management protocol (SNMP) GET/GETNEXT access is supported.

Configure RMON using the RMON commands. Collected data is lost during a chassis reboot.
