SNMP and RMON Management

The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) may be used to manage the IntraChassis 9000. The SNMP agent supports database objects that are defined in the following management information bases (MIBs):

❑MIB II (RFC 1213)

❑Bridge MIB (RFC 1493)

❑RMON (RFC 1757) 4 groups - Ethernet Statistics, Ethernet History, Alarm, and Events (See next section for details)

❑Private IntraChassis 9000 MIB

Any SNMP-based network management application can be used to manage the IntraChassis 9000. Refer to your SNMP software manual for information on management of switches.

For details on console-based SNMP settings, see “SNMP Configuration” in Chapter 3.

RMON Management

Remote Network Monitoring allows the network manager to gather data on the network’s traffic for future retrieval. RMON is an Internet Standard defined in RFC1757.

Using RMON, a network monitor (also called a probe) listens to traffic on the network and gathers statistics which may be retrieved later by a network management station using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) as described in the previous section. The four groups of RMON that are supported by the IntraChassis 9000 are described in the following sub-sections.
