RMON Configuration
Remote Monitoring (RMON) is a kind of MIB defined by Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF). It is an important enhancement to MIB II standards. RMON is mainly
used to monitor the data traffic across a network segment or even the entire
network, and is currently a commonly used network management standard.

The switch to be tested is connected to a terminal through the console port
and to a remote NMS through the Internet. Create an entry in the extended
alarm table to monitor the statistics on the Ethernet port. If the change rate of
the entry exceeds the configured rising threshold or falling threshold, an alarm
event will be triggered.

Configuration Procedure
# Create the statistics entry numbered 1 to take statistics on Ethernet 1/0/1.
<3Com> system-view
[3Com] interface Ethernet 1/0/1
[3Com-Ethernet1/0/1] rmon statistics 1
[3Com-Ethernet1/0/1] quit
# Add the event entries numbered 1 and 2 to the event table, which will be
triggered by the following extended alarms.
triggered by the following extended alarms.
[3Com] rmon event 1 log
[3Com] rmon event 2 trap 10.21.30.55
# Add an entry numbered 2 to the extended alarm table to allow the system to
calculate the alarm variables with the
(.1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1.1.9.1+.1.3.6.1.2.1.16.1.1.1.10.1) formula to get the numbers
of all the oversize and undersize packets received by Ethernet 1/0/1 that are in
correct data format and sample the numbers in every 10 seconds. When the
change ratio between samples reaches the rising threshold of 50, event 1 is
triggered; when the change ratio drops under the falling threshold, event 2 is
triggered. Set the sampling type to forever and the owner of the alarm table to
user1.
