Remote Monitoring (RMON)

Overview

FTOS RMON is implemented on all Dell Force10 switching platforms (C-Series, E-Series, and

S-Series), as indicated by the characters that appear below each command heading:

• C-Series: c

• E-Series: e

• S-Series: s

FTOS 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 Remote Network Monitoring RMON commands are:

• rmon alarm

• rmon collection history

• rmon collection statistics

• rmon event

Note: Only SNMP GET/GETNEXT access is supported. Configure RMON using the

RMON commands. Collected data is lost during a chassis reboot.
