Remote Monitoring (RMON)
Overview
Dell Force10 operating software (FTOS) remote monitoring (RMON) is based on IEEE standards, 
providing both 32-bit and 64-bit monitoring and long-term statistics collection. FTOS RMON supports 
the following RMON groups, as defined in RFC-2819, RFC-3273, and RFC-3434:
• Ethernet Statistics Table  RFC-2819
• Ethernet Statistics High-Capacity Table  RFC-3273, 64bits
• Ethernet History Control Table  RFC-2819
• Ethernet History Table  RFC-2819
• Ethernet History High-Capacity Table RFC-3273, 64bits
• Alarm Table RFC-2819
• High-Capacity Alarm Table (64bits) RFC-3434, 64bits
• Event Table RFC-2819
• Log Table RFC-2819
FTOS RMON does not support the following statistics:
• etherStatsCollisions
• etherHistoryCollisions
• etherHistoryUtilization
Commands
The FTOS RMON commands are:
• rmon alarm
• rmon collection history
• rmon collection statistics
• rmon event
• rmon hc-alarm
• show rmon
• show rmon alarms
• show rmon events
• show rmon hc-alarm
Note: Only the simple network management protocol (SNMP) GET/GETNEXT access is 
supported. Configure RMON using the RMON commands. Collected data is lost during a 
chassis reboot.
