Configuring SNMP, RMON, BootP, DHCP, and RARP Services
2-10 117362-A Rev. A
The RMON MIB provides a standard method to monitor the basic operations of
the Ethernet, providing interoperability between 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. This allows 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.
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.
How RMON Works
A typical RMON configuration consists of a central network management station
and a remote monitoring device, called an RMON agent. The network
management station can be a Windows-based or UNIX-based workstation or PC
running a network management application, such as Optivity Analysis. From the
management station, you can issue SNMP commands requesting information
from the RMON agent. The RMON agent sends the requested information to the
management station, which then processes and displays this information on its
console.
The RMON agent is software that resides on a DCM within a Bay Networks
BayStack AN
®
, ANH
, or ARN router on a remote network. As packets travel
across the network, the RMON agent continuously collects and analyzes Ethernet
data in real time on a remote LAN segment and stores the data locally in the
Ethernet DCM according to the RMON MIB specification, defined in RFC 1757.
You can have multiple RMON agents running in different segments of the
network, usually one per subnet (F
igure 2-2).
