RMON
18-6 Configuring Network Monitoring
Procedure 18-1 describes how to configure RMON. Refer to “RMON Design Considerations” on
page 18-4 before configuring RMON on the Fixed Switches.
capture asksize The RMON capture requested
maximum octets to save in the buffer.
-1 (request as many octets as
possible)
capture slice The RMON capture maximum number
of octets from each packet to be saved
to the buffer.

capture loadsize The RMON capture maximum number
of cotets from each packet to be
downloaded from the buffer.

Procedure 18-1 Configuring Remote Network Monitoring
Step Task Command(s)
1. Configure RMON to create entries that record
statistics measured by the RMON probe for
each specified interface.
• index - Specifies the index number for this
entry
• port-string - assigns this entry to a specific
port
• owner - (Optional) Specifies the
management station owner for this entry
set rmon stats index port-string
[owner]
2. Optionally, specify the maximum number and
period for recorded statistical samples from a
network.
• index - Specifies the index number for this
entry
• port-string - assigns this entry to a specific
port
• bucket - (Optional) Specifies the maximum
number of entries to maintain
• interval - (Optional) Specifies the period
between samples in seconds
• owner - (Optional) Specifies the
management station owner for this entry
set rmon history index [port-
string] [buckets buckets]
[interval interval] [owner owner]
3. Configure RMON probe variable thresholds that
will trigger an alarm if crossed by a sampled
probe.
• index - Specifies the entry for this set of alarm
properties
• interval - (Optional) Specifies the period
between samples in seconds
• object - (Optional) Specifies the MIB object
to be monitored
• type - (Optional) Specifies a monitoring
method
set rmon alarm properties index
[interval interval] [object
object
] [type {absolute | delta}]
[startup {rising | falling |
either}] [rthresh rthresh]
[fthresh fthresh] [revent revent]
[fevent fevent] [owner owner]
