Chapter 23: RMON Configuration Guide

Allocating Memory to RMON

RMON allocates memory depending on the number of ports enabled for RMON, the RMON groups that have been configured, and whether or not default tables have been turned on or off. Enabling RMON with all groups (Lite, Standard, and Professional) with default tables uses approximately 300 Kbytes per port. If necessary, you can dynamically allocate additional memory to RMON.

To display the amount of memory that is currently allocated to RMON, use the following CLI command in Enable mode:

Displays the memory allocated to RMON.

rmon show status
