5.1 SNMP and RMON Management
This chapter describes the Hardened Ethernet Extender SNMP and RMON capabilities.
5.1.1 Overview
RMON is an abbreviation for the Remote Monitoring MIB (Management Information Base). RMON is a system defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Document RFC 2819, which defines how networks can be monitored remotely.
RMONs typically consist of two components: an RMON probe and a management workstation:
•The RMON probe is an intelligent device or software agent that continually collects statistics about a LAN segment or VLAN. The RMON probe transfers the collected data to a management workstation on request or when a predefined threshold is reached.
•The management workstation collects the statistics that the RMON probe gathers. The workstation can reside on the same network as the probe, or it can have an
The Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch provides RMON capabilities that allow network administrators to set parameters and view statistical counters defined in
5.1.2 SNMP Agent and MIB-2 (RFC 1213)
The SNMP Agent running on the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch manager CPU is responsible for:
•Retrieving MIB counters from various layers of software modules according to the SNMP GET/GET NEXT frame messages.
