3Com 9000 SX RMON

RMON 9-11

RMON Using the Remote Monitoring (RMON) capabilities of the Switch allows

network administrators to make decisions about improving Switch

efﬁciency and reducing the load on the network.

The following sections explain more about the RMON concept and the

RMON features supported by the Switch 9000.

You can only use the RMON features of the Switch if you have an

RMON management application, such as the RMON application

supplied with 3Com’s Transcend® Enterprise Manager.

About RMON RMON is the common abbreviation for the Remote Monitoring

Management Information Base (MIB) system deﬁned by the Internet

Engineering Task Force (IETF) documents RFC 1271 and RFC 1757,

which allows you to monitor LANs remotely.

show log {<priority>} {<subsystem>} Allows you to display the a snapshot of the log.

Options include:

■priority — Filters the log to display messages with

the selected priority or higher (more critical).

Priorities include critical, warning, and informational.

If not specified, informational priority messages and

higher are displayed.

■subsystem — Filters the log to display messages

associated with the selected Switch subsystem.

Subsystems include Syst, STP, Brdg, SNMP, Telnet,

VLAN, and Port. If not specified, all subsystems are

displayed.

show log config Allows you to display the log configuration, including

the syslog host IP address, the priority level of

messages being logged locally, and the priority level of

messages being sent to the syslog host.

clear counters Allows you to clear all statistical counters for the

Switch and ports.

clear log Allows you to clear the log.
