Configuring RMON and RMON2

RMON allows you to set up automatic histories, which the RMON agent collects

over a period of time, providing trending data on such basic statistics as

utilization, collisions, and so forth. Using a network management application such

as Optivity LAN

™

or Optivity Analysis

™

, you can retrieve histories to understand

network usage patterns. Because RMON automates this data collection and

provides better data to the planning process, the process is easier and the outcome

more accurate.

Bay Networks implements seven RMON MIB groups in its RMON agent and the

Alarm and Event groups in its base module for BayStack AN/ANH and ARN

routers. Table 1-1

summarizes the RMON MIB groups. For detailed information

about the RMON MIB groups, see Appendix B, “RMON and RMON2 MIB

Groups.”

Statistics Analyze the operational effectiveness of your network. Statistics

include packets, octets, broadcasts, multicasts, dropped packets, soft

errors, and packet size distribution.

History Analyze traffic trends based on historical data.

Host Collect information for each host on the segment.

HostTopN Reduce network overhead by looking at the most active nodes.

Matrix Report on traffic and errors between any host pair.

Filter Define criteria for capturing specific information.

Capture Copy packets for analysis.

Alarm Report on changes in network characteristics based on thresholds for

any MIB variable of interest.

Event Log events based on thresholds that you define. You can use these

statistics to initiate functions such as data capture or instance counts

to isolate specific portions of your network.
