•Group 1 (Statistics): Monitors utilization and error statistics for each network segment (100Mbps or 1000Mbps).
•Group 2 (History): Records periodic statistical samples from variables available in the statistics group.
•Group 3 (Alarms): Allows you to set a sampling interval and alarm thresholds for statistics. When a threshold is passed, the switch creates an event. For example, you might set an alarm if utilization exceeds 30%.
•Group 9 (Events): Provides notification and tells the switch what to do when an event occurs on the network. Events can send a trap to a receiving station or place an entry in the log table, or both. For example, when the switch experiences an RMON Event, it sends out an alarm.
The switch also keeps a log that shows a list of the RMON Events and
RMON Alarms that have occurred on the switch.
