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 Protcol (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 VSP 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 table. The protocol distribution control table is part of this group. The protocol distribution
control table is predefined with an entry for the management IP for the switch to represent the
network segment where the system collects the statistics. No ACLI or EDM support exists to add or
delete entries in this table.
Address map MIB
The address map MIB maps the network layer IP to the MAC layer address.
The system populates the address map control table MIB with an entry for each host interface that
you enable for monitoring on the switch.
Network layer host MIB
The network layer host MIB monitors the Layer 3 traffic statistics for each host. The network layer
host MIB monitors traffic packets in and out of hosts based on the network layer address. The
network layer host controls the network and application layer host tables.
The system populates an entry for the management IP of the switch to represent the network
segment where the system collects the statistics. You have to enable each host interface that you
want to monitor on the switch.
The system only collects statistics for this group from packets that go to the CP.
