Remote Monitoring (RMON)

Overview

Dell Force10 operating software (FTOS) remote monitoring (RMON) is based on IEEE standards,

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

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

• 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

FTOS RMON does not support the following statistics:

• etherStatsCollisions

• etherHistoryCollisions

• etherHistoryUtilization

Commands

The FTOS RMON commands are:

• rmon alarm

• rmon collection history

• rmon collection statistics

• rmon event

• rmon hc-alarm

• show rmon

• show rmon alarms

• show rmon events

• show rmon hc-alarm

Note: Only the simple network management protocol (SNMP) GET/GETNEXT access is

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

chassis reboot.
