Supermicro SSE-F3548S/SSE-F3548SR Configuration User’s Guide
• The alarm function aids in monitoring the value of a specified MIB variable. Italso handleevents
such as trap or log to be sent to the management device when its value reaches a particular
threshold. For e.g. rate of packets received reaches a certain value.
RMON protocol allows multiple monitors or management devices. A monitor provides two ways of data
gathering:
• Using RMON probesfrom which Management devices can get data directly and control
network resources. In this approach, management devices can obtain all RMON MIB
information.
• RMON agents in routers and switches. Management devices exchange data with RMON
agents using SNMP operations, which, due to system resources limitation, may not cover
all MIB information but four groups of information, alarm, event, history, and statistics, in
most cases.
Supermicro supports minimal RMON agent implementation for Ethernet interfaces.
