About RMON
RMON is the common abbreviation for the Remote Monitoring Management Information Base (MIB)
system defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) documents RFC 1757 and RFC 2021,

An RMON agent is an intelligent software agent that continually monitors port statistics and system
variables. The agent transfers the information to a management workstation on request, or when a
predefined threshold is crossed.
Information collected by RMON includes Ethernet port statistics and history and the software version
and hardware revision of the device. RMON generates alarms when threshold levels are met and then
