Using Web-Based Management for the Business Policy Switch 2000
Chapter 5
Configuring remote network monitoring (RMON)
The RMON management information base (MIB) is an interface between the
RMON agent on a BayStack 450 switch or Business Policy Switch 2000 and
RMON management applications such as the Web-based management user
interface. It defines objects that are suitable for the management of any type of
network. Some groups are specifically targeted for Ethernet networks.
The RMON agent continuously collects statistics and proactively monitors the
switch.
This RMON options available to you are:
• Creating and displaying alarms for user-defined events (next)
• Viewing RMON Ethernet statistics (page 102)
• Viewing RMON history (page 106)
• Viewing the System Log (page 100)
Configuring RMON fault threshold parameters
Alarms are useful when you need to know when the value of some variable goes
out of range. RMON alarms can be defined on any MIB variable that resolves to
an integer value. String variables (such as system description) cannot be used as
alarm variables.
