Chapter 23: RMON Configuration Guide

Configuring and Enabling RMON

By default, RMON is disabled on the SSR. To configure and enable RMON on the SSR, follow these steps:

1.Turn on the Lite, Standard, or Professional RMON groups by entering the rmon set litestandardprofessional command. You can also configure default control tables for the Lite, Standard, or Professional RMON groups by including the default-tables yes parameter.

2.Enable RMON on specified ports with the rmon set ports command.

3.Optionally, you can configure control tables for the Lite, Standard, or Professional RMON groups. For example, if you chose not to create default control tables for the Lite, Standard, or Professional groups, you can configure control table entries for specific ports on the SSR.

4.Use the rmon enable command to enable RMON on the SSR.
