16.4 Configuring RMON
16.4.1 Description
The switch supports RMON (Remote Monitoring) on all connected network segments. This
allows for troubleshooting and optimizing your network. The MultiLink ML1200 Managed
Field Switch provides hardware-based RMON counters. The switch manager or a network
management system can poll these counters periodically to collect the statistics in a
format that compiles with the RMON MIB definition.
The following RMON groups are supported:
• Ethernet statistics group - maintains utilization and error statistics for the switch
port being monitored.
• History group - gathers and stores periodic statistical samples from previous
statistics group.
• Alarm group - allows a network administrator to define alarm thresholds for any
MIB variable.
• Log and event group - allows a network administrator to define actions based on
alarms. SNMP traps are generated when RMON alarms are triggered.
