SNMP & RMON MANAGEMENT

This section describes the switch’s Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Remote Monitoring (RMON) capabilities.

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 1757, 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 pre-defined 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 in-band or out-of-band connection to the probe.

The switch provides RMON capabilities that allow network administrators to set parameters and view statistical counters defined in MIB-II, Bridge MIB, and RMON MIB. RMON activities are performed at a Network Management Station running an SNMP network management application with graphical user interface.

SNMP AGENT AND MIB-2 (RFC 1213)

The SNMP Agent running on the switch manager CPU is responsible for:

-Retrieving MIB counters from various layers of software modules according to the SNMP GET/GET NEXT frame messages.

-Setting MIB variables according to the SNMP SET frame message.

-Generating an SNMP TRAP frame message to the Network Management Station if the threshold of a certain MIB counter is reached or if other trap conditions (such as the following) are met:
