Configuring RMON
These sections describe how to configure RMON on your ML-Series card:
Default RMON Configuration, page 21-2

Default RMON Configuration

RMON is disabled by default; no alarms or events are configured.

Configuring RMON Alarms and Events

You can configure your ML-Series card for RMON by using the command-line interface (CLI) or an
SNMP-compatible network management station. We recommend that you use a generic RMON con sole
application on the NMS to take advantage of RMON’s network management capabilities. You must also
configure SNMP on the ML-Series card to access RMON MIB objects. For more information about
configuring SNMP, see Chapter 22, “Configuring SNMP.”
