21. RMON Remote Networking Monitoring is an SNMP specification that enables an SNMP agent in the device to proactively monitor traffic statistics over a given period and send traps to an SNMP manager The local SNMP agent compares actual real time counters against predefined thresholds and generates alarms without the need for polling by a central SNMP management platform This is an effective mechanism for proactive management provided that you have the correct thresholds set relative to your network s base line RMON decreases the traffic between the manager and the device because the SNMP manager does not have to poll the device frequently for information and enables the manager to get timely status reports because the device reports events as they occur With this feature you can perform the following actions View the current statistics Since the counter values were cleared You can also collect the values of these counters over a period of time and then view the table of collected data where each collected set is a single line of the History tab Define interesting changes in counter values such as reached a certain number of late collisions defines the alarm and then specify what action to perform when this event occurs log trap or log and trap Viewing RMON Statistics The Statistics page displays detailed information regarding packet sizes and information regarding physical layer errors The information
