Chapter Configuring RMON using the CEE CLI 14 In this chapter •RMON overview 123 •RMON configuration and management 123 RMON overview Remote monitoring (RMON) is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard monitoring specification that allows various network agents and console systems to exchange network monitoring data. The RMON specification defines a set of statistics and functions that can be exchanged between RMON-compliant console managers and network probes. As such, RMON provides you with comprehensive network-fault diagnosis, planning, and performance-tuning information. RMON configuration and management Alarms and events are configurable RMON parameters: • Alarms-Monitors a specific management information base (MIB) object for a specified interval, triggers an alarm at a specified value (rising threshold), and resets the alarm at another value (falling threshold). Alarms can be used with events; the alarm triggers an event, which can generate a log entry or an SNMP trap. • Events-Determines the action to take when an event is triggered by an alarm. The action can be to generate a log entry, an SNMP trap, or both. Default RMON configuration By default, no RMON alarms and events are configured and RMON collection statistics are not enabled. Configuring RMON settings To configure RMON alarms and events, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode. 1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode. switch#configure terminal Dell Converged Enhanced Ethernet Administrator's Guide 123 53-1002116-01
