RMON

RMON, the internationally recognized network monitoring standard, is a network 
management protocol that allows network information to be gathered at a single 
workstation. You can use RMON probes to monitor and analyze a single segment 
only. When you deploy a switch on the network, there are additional components in 
the network that cannot be monitored using RMON. These components include the  
switch fabric, VLAN, and statistics for all ports.
RMON is the internationally recognized and approved standard for detailed 
analysis of shared Ethernet media. It ensures consistency in the monitoring and 
display of statistics between different vendors.
RMON's advanced remote networking capabilities provide the tools needed to 
monitor and analyze the behavior of segments on a network. In conjunction with an 
RMON agent, RMON gathers details and logical information about network status, 
performance and users running applications on the network.
RMON has two levels:
•

RMON I analyzes the MAC layer (Layer 2 in the OSI seven-layer model).

•

RMON II analyzes the upper layers (Layers 3 and above).

An RMON agent is a probe that collects information about segments, hosts and 
traffic and sends the information to a management station. You use specific 
software tools to view the information collected by the RMON agent on the 
management station.
