RMON (Remote Networking Monitoring) enables the switch to proactively monitor
traffic statistics over a given period and send traps to a remote log server. The
switch compares real-time counters against predefined thresholds and generates
alarms, without the need for polling by a central management platform. If you have
correctly set the thresholds relative to your network's base line, this is an effective
management mechanism.
RMON decreases the traffic between the manager and the switch, because the
remote log server does not have to frequently poll the switch for information, and it
enables the manager to get timely status reports, because the switch reports
events as they occur.
With this feature, you can perform the following actions:
•
View statistics (counter values) as they are currently, meaning since the last
time they were cleared.
Viewing RMON Statistics
The Statistics Page displays detailed information regarding packet sizes and
some information regarding physical layer errors. The information shown is
according to the RMON standard. An oversized packet is defined as an Ethernet
frame with the following criteria:
•
Packet length is greater than MRU byte size
•
Collision event has not been detected
•
Late collision event has not been detected
•
Rx error event has not been detected
•
Packet has a valid CRC
