RMON and RMON2 Overview
RMON and RMON2 are MIB standards developed to provide powerful remote
troubleshooting and monitoring within a LAN segment and across an enterprise
network. This chapter includes the following information:
RMON MIB
RMON is a standard MIB that defines current and historical statistics and control
objects at the media access control (MAC) layer, allowing you to capture real-time
information across the entire network. The RMON standard is an SNMP MIB
definition described in RFC 1757 (formerly 1271) for Ethernet.
The RMON MIB provides a standard method for monitoring the basic operations
of the Ethernet network, providing interoperability between Simple Network
Management (SNMP) management stations and monitoring agents. RMON also
provides a powerful alarm and event mechanism for setting thresholds and for
notifying you of changes in network behavior.
You can use RMON to analyze and monitor network traffic data within remote
LAN segments from a central location, enabling you to detect, isolate, diagnose,
and report potential and actual network problems before they escalate to crisis
situations. For example, the Ethernet DCM can identify the hosts on a network
that generate the most traffic or errors.
