HP Transcend Traffix Manager manual Using RMON-1 Agents, Monitoring, Network Segments

USING RMON-1 AGENTS

Monitoring	Many sites (particularly in a switched environment) have large numbers of
Network Segments	network segments, and it may be too expensive to monitor all segments
Using RMON-1	with RMON-2 agents. You can use any existing embedded RMON-1 only
Agents	devices (hubs, switches, routers etc.) instead, to produce lightweight
	activity reports for these segments.
	Data from RMON-1 only agents is only used in segment activity reports,
	and does not appear in the Map.
	To produce a lightweight segment activity report, follow these steps:

1In the Configure Agents dialog box, add and enable the RMON-1 devices and interfaces you want to use to collect network traffic data.

Traffix™ Manager will automatically begin to collect data from the enabled interfaces.

2From the Report Manager, schedule a daily Segment Activity report for the next morning (weekly and monthly reports can also be scheduled).

When you look at the report, you will find that the following graphs are incomplete:

■Protocol Distribution of Segment By Octets (no data).

■Key to graph with no data — no key is displayed.

■Protocol Distribution By Octets With Packets Overlaid — only the packet overlay appears.

The remaining graphs and tables all appear in full.

RMON-1 only segments will never appear in a TopN Segments report since the Reporter uses (RMON-2) protocol information to calculate the top N segments.
