RMON
RMON (Remote Networking Monitoring) enables an SNMP agent in the device to 
proactively monitor traffic statistics over a given period and send traps to an 
SNMP manager. The local SNMP agent compares actual, real-time counters 
against predefined thresholds and generates alarms, without the need for polling 
by a central SNMP management platform. This is an effective mechanism for 
proactive management, provided that you have set the correct thresholds relative 
to your network’s base line. 
RMON decreases the traffic between the manager and the device since the 
SNMP manager does not have to poll the device frequently for information, and 
enables the manager to get timely status reports, since the device reports events 
as they occur.
With this feature, you can perform the following actions:
• View the current statistics (from the time that the counter values were 
cleared). You can also collect the values of these counters over a period of 
time, and then view the table of collected data, where each collected set is 
a single line of the History tab.
• Define interesting changes in counter values, such as “reached a certain 
number of late collisions” (defines the alarm), and then specify what action 
to perform when this event occurs (log, trap, or log and trap).
