Monitoring switch performance

The Remote Network Monitoring (RMON) MIB is an interface between the RMON agent on a BayStack 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 especially suitable for Ethernet networks. The RMON agent continuously collects statistics and proactively monitors switch performance. You can view this data using 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

• Working with RMON information
• Using alarms
• Working with events
• Log tab
