Avaya P130 SMON User Guide

SMON consists of a software console application on a workstation and 

remote monitoring probes in network devices that support SMON.

The SMON console communicates constantly with the SMON devices on 

your network. The console uses the SNMP protocol to gather information 

from the devices. SMON provides a suite of powerful graphic display tools 

to view this information.

SMON gives you detailed analysis of the traffic flow on your switched 

network, from a global view down to a specific host, and from total MAC 

layer traffic down to a specific application protocol - all in real-time.

In addition, SMON allows you to set alarms based on traffic thresholds. 

When an alarm is triggered, a trap can be sent to the device’s manager 

and the event that triggered the alarm can be entered in SMON’s Event 

Log.

SMON Devices

SMON provides monitoring capabilities for Avaya Inc’s network devices 

that support the SMON extensions of the RMON standard.

Filtering Options

SMON tools provide different methods of filtering the information 

displayed on the screen. These method include:

• Specific filtering

• TopN filtering

For information on how to use filters, refer to 

.

Specific 

Filtering

Specific filtering options provide the ability to specify the switches, 

VLANs, or ports for which you want to view SMON information. 

TopN 

Filtering

TopN filtering provides the ability to filter information based on the 

amount of a particular type of traffic being monitored. When using TopN 

filtering, specify the number of switches, VLANs, or ports for which you 

want to view SMON information. Then select a statistic which will be 

used as the basis for the filtering. 

Using TopN filtering you can, for example, view information on only the 

top 5 most active ports, or on the 8 switches generating the most error 

traffic.
