RMON Probe Capability

The Remote Network Monitoring (RMON) probe is an instrument that exists for the purpose of managing a network. The goals of the RMON probe are described in the following sections: Offline Operation, Proac- tive Monitoring, Problem Detection and Reporting, Value Added Data, and Multiple Managers. The 10/100 Managed Hub supports RMON group (1) statistics, group (2) History, group (3) Alarm, and group (9) Event.

•Offline Operation: This allows a probe to be configured to perform diagnostics and to collect statistics continuously, even when communications with the management station may not be possible or efficient.

•Proactive Monitoring: The monitor can notify the manage- ment station of failure and can store historical statistical information about the failure. The management station can play this historical information back in an attempt to perform further diagnosis into the cause of the problem.

•Problem Detection and Reporting: The monitor can be configured to recognize conditions, most notably error conditions, and to continuously check for them. When one of these conditions occurs, the event may be logged, and management stations may be notified in a number of ways.

•Value Added Data: By highlighting those hosts on the network that generate the most traffic or errors, the probe can give the management station precisely the information it needs to solve a class of problems.

•Multiple Managers: Remote monitoring can deal with multiple management stations using its resources concurrently.
