What is RMON

RMON is the internationally recognized and approved standard for detailed analysis of shared Ethernet and Token Ring media. It ensures consistency in the monitoring and display of statistics between different vendors.

RMON’s advanced remote networking capabilities provide the tools needed to monitor and analyze the behavior of segments on a network. In conjunction with an RMON agent, RMON gathers details and logical information about network status, performance, and users running applications on the network.

An RMON agent is a probe that collects information about segments, hosts, and traffic, and sends it to a management station.

The network administrator uses software tools to view the information collected by the RMON agent on the management station.
