Configuring Remote Network
Monitoring (RMON)
The Remote Network Monitoring (RMON) Management Information Base
(MIB) is an interface between the RMON agent on the Nortel Ethernet
Routing Switch 5500 Series and an RMON management application, such
as the Java Device Manager.
It 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 monitors switch
performance.
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
Configuring RMON with the CLI
This section describes the CLI commands used to configure and manage
RMON.
show rmon alarm
The show rmon alarm command displays information on RMON alarms.
The syntax for the show rmon alarm command is:
show rmon alarm
The show rmon alarm command is executed in the Privileged EXEC
mode.
