Network Modules 3–107
3.12 Probes
Packet probe modules act as distributed network monitoring performance devices.
They implement the Simplified Network Monitoring Protocol (SNMP) Remote
Monitoring (RMON) Management Information Base (MIB). Modules are available
for Ethernet and Token Ring networks.
The following modules are available for use in the DEChub platforms or as
standalone devices.
• DECpacketprobe 90
• DECpacketprobe 900RR
3.12.1 DECpacketprobe 90
The DECpacketprobe 90 operates as a distributed network performance monitoring
probe. It is attached to the Ethernet LAN to monitor traffic and error levels. The
module implements the Simplified Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Remote
Monitoring (RMON) Management Information Base (MIB) for monitoring Ethernet
LANs.
Requires RMON Manager. Figure 3–35 shows the DECpacketprobe 90 network
module.
