Chassis and port statistics
Chassis and port statistics allow you to view detailed information about any switch or port. The
port statistics are divided by received and transmitted so that you can compare and evaluate
throughput or other port parameters.
Remote Monitoring
Remote monitoring (RMON) MIB is an interface between the RMON agent on an Ethernet
Routing Switch 3500 Series switch and an RMON management application, such as Enterprise
Device Manager.
The RMON agent defines objects that are suitable for the management of any type of network,
but some groups are targeted for Ethernet networks in particular.
The RMON agent continuously collects statistics and proactively monitors switch performance.
You can view this data through ACLI and EDM.
RMON has three major functions:
• creating and displaying alarms for user-defined events
• gathering cumulative statistics for Ethernet interfaces
• tracking a history of statistics for Ethernet interfaces
RMON alarms
Alarms are useful when you need to know when the values of a variable go out of range. You
can define an RMON alarm for any MIB variable that resolves to an integer value. You cannot
use string variables (such as system description) as alarm variables.
All alarms share the following characteristics:
• An upper and lower threshold value is defined.
• A corresponding rising and falling event occurs.
• An alarm interval or polling period is reached. When alarms are activated, you can view
the activity in a log or a trap log, or you can create a script to notify you by sending an
audible sound to a console, sending e-mail, or calling a pager.
