Performance Management on Virtual Services Platform 4000 Series Version 5.1.2

The system only collects statistics for IP packets that pass through the CP. RMON2 does not
monitor packets on other interfaces processed on the switch that do not pass through the CP.
After you globally enable RMON2, enable monitoring for individual devices. Identify the network
hosts for the system to monitor with a manual configuration on the interfaces you want to monitor.
The RMON2 feature monitors a list of predefined protocols. The system begins to collect protocol
statistics immediately after you enable RMON.
The RMON2 feature collects statistics on:
• Protocols predefined by the system.
• Address mapping between physical and network address on particular network hosts that you
configure for monitoring.
• Network host statistics for particular hosts on a network layer protocol (IP) that you configure
for monitoring.
• Application host statistics for a particular host on an application layer protocol that you
configure for monitoring.
RMON2 MIBs
This section describes the following MIBs, on which RMON2 can collect statistics: protocol directory,
protocol distribution, address map, network-layer host, and application layer host.
Protocol directory MIB
The protocol directory is a master directory that lists all of the protocols RMON2 can monitor. The
protocols include network layer, transport layer, and application layer protocols, under the OSI
model. The system only monitors statistics for the predefined protocols. You cannot delete or add
additional protocols to this table. The protocol directory MIB is enabled by default for the predefined
protocols.
The predefined protocols include:
• Internet Protocol (IP)
• Secure Shell version 2 (SSHv2)
• Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
• User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
• File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
• Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
• Telnet
• Remote login (rlogin)
• Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Protocol distribution MIB
The protocol distribution MIB collects traffic statistics that each protocol generates by local area
network (LAN) segment. The switch acts as the probe and the system collects protocol statistics for
the entire switch as part of the group for all of the protocols predefined in the protocol directory
