RMON overview

Remote monitoring (RMON) is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard monitoring 
specification that allows various network agents and console systems to exchange network 
monitoring data. The RMON specification defines a set of statistics and functions that can be 
exchanged between RMON-compliant console managers and network probes. As such, RMON 
provides you with comprehensive network-fault diagnosis, planning, and performance-tuning 
information. 

RMON configuration and management

Alarms and events are configurable RMON parameters:

•

Alarms—Monitors a specific management information base (MIB) object for a specified 
interval, triggers an alarm at a specified value (rising threshold), and resets the alarm at 
another value (falling threshold). Alarms can be used with events; the alarm triggers an event, 
which can generate a log entry or an SNMP trap.

•

Events—Determines the action to take when an event is triggered by an alarm. The action can 
be to generate a log entry, an SNMP trap, or both.

Default RMON configuration

By default, no RMON alarms and events are configured and RMON collection statistics are not 
enabled.

Configuring RMON settings

To configure RMON alarms and events, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode.

1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.

switch#configure terminal
