13.3 RMON
RMON (Remote Monitoring) basing on SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
architecture, functions to monitor the network. RMON is currently a commonly used network
management standard defined by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which is mainly used
to monitor the data traffic across a network segment or even the entire network so as to enable
the network administrator to take the protection measures in time to avoid any network
malfunction. In addition, RMON MIB records network statistics information of network
performance and malfunction periodically, based on which the management station can
monitor network at any time effectively. RMON is helpful for network administrator to manage
the large-scale network since it reduces the communication traffic between management
station and managed agent.

RMON Group
This switch supports the following four RMON Groups defined on the RMON standard
(RFC1757): History Group, Event Group, Statistic Group and Alarm Group.
RMON Group
Function
History Group After a history grou
p is configured, the switch collects and records
network statistics information periodically, based on which the
management station can monitor network effectively.
Event Group Event Group is used to define RMON events. Alarms occur when an event
is detected.
Statistic Group Statistic Group is set to
monitor the statistic of alarm variables on the
specific ports.
Alarm Group Alarm Group is configured to monitor the specific alarm variables. When
the value of a monitored variable exceeds the threshold, an alarm event is
generated, which triggers the switch to act in the set way.
The RMON Groups can be configured on the History Control, Event Config and Alarm Config
pages.
