RMON1 statistics
You can use EDM to gather and graph statistics in a variety of formats, or you can save the
statistics to a file and export the statistics to a third-party presentation or graphing application.
This implementation of RMON1 requires a control row for Ethernet statistics. This control row
appears as port 0/1 when you choose RMON > Control > Ethernet Statistics. The row ID is
reserved for the control row. Therefore, some automated tests, such as ANVL, can fail when the test
attempts to create a row 1.
RMON2
The RMON2 feature monitors network and application layer protocols on configured network hosts,
either VLAN or port interfaces, that you enable for monitoring. The RMON2 feature expands the
capacity of RMON1 to upper layer protocols in the OSI model.
The following figure shows which form of RMON monitors which layers in the OSI model:
Figure 3: OSI model and RMON
The RMON2 feature is a management information base (MIB) or a group of management objects
that you use to obtain or configure values using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
Avaya supports a partial implementation of RMON2. The RMON2 feature adds the following MIBS:
protocol directory, protocol distribution, address map, network-layer host and application layer host
for the traffic passing through the (Control Processor) CP for these MIB tables.
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.
