The RMON MIB is an interface between the RMON agent on the Passport routing switch and an RMON management application, such as the 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. Enabling RMON on the switch allows the RMON agent to continuously collect statistics and proactively monitor switch performance. This data can then be viewed through the Device Manager.
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
