RMON 123

When using the RMON features of the switch, you should note the following:

After the default sessions are created, they have no special status. You can delete or change them as required.

The greater the number of RMON sessions, the greater the burden on the management resources of the switch. However, the forwarding performance of the switch is not affected.

Configuring RMON To enable or disable the collection of RMON statistics on the switch, use the following command:

[enable disable] rmon

By default, RMON is disabled. However, even in the disabled state, the switch response to RMON queries and sets for alarms and events. By enabling RMON, the switch begins the processes necessary for collecting switch statistics.

Event Actions The actions that you can define for each alarm are shown in Table 36.
