RMON
Remote Monitoring (RMON) is a widely-adopted industry standard for retrieving network statistics from remote
devices. RMON helps you detect changes in traffic and error patterns in critical areas of your network. Using
RMON, you can set threshold levels and be notified when these levels are reached.
RMON consists of:
an RMON agent or remote "probe" to the network segment you want to monitor and
1.
the RMON manager or the management interface.2.
All BitStorm L3S switches support RMON groups 1, 2, 3 and 9. You can use any RMON management
application to determine what RMON information you would like to see, select the ports to be monitored and the
alarms and events to be recorded. Different administrators can configure and manage their own information.
The Statistics and History groups collect and display traffic statistics for each port or groups of ports on the
Switch. The Statistics group shows real-time data. History shows statistics over a period of time.
The Alarm and Event groups set threshold levels for certain activities and send notices to management stations
when those levels have been exceeded.
