Theory of Operation
This section describes the theory of operation for the RMON MultiProbe Module.
The RMON MultiProbe Module:
❑Supports simultaneous analysis of three Ethernet channels
❑Monitors the network proactively
For example, when a network event occurs or a problem becomes apparent in the network, you use a protocol analyzer to attempt to isolate and correct the problem. RMON technology also provides you with protocol analyzer capabilities. However, RMON takes a more proactive approach to network monitoring by:
❑Alerting you of network events before they can become a problem
❑Providing you with information to help isolate problems
You can also configure the RMON MultiProbe Module to check continuously for specific error conditions and notify you or log the event when the conditions occur.
