Configuring SNMP, RMON, BOOTP, DHCP, and RARP Services
1-4 114070 Rev. B
To run RMON on a Version 11.0 or later Bay Networks router, the router must
be running a Version 1.4 or later DCM image. If the router has an earlier
version of DCM, the RMON Summary application returns an error message
telling you that the router does not support RMON. For information about
upgrading your router and the DCM image, refer to Upgrading Routers from
Version 7-10.xx to Version 11.0. The upgrade guide also describes how to
determine the version of DCM you are currently running.
3. Configure an Ethernet interface for each LAN segment you want to monitor.
4. Install and configure on your network management station an RMON network
management application, such as Optivity
®
LAN or Optivity Analysis, to view
and analyze statistics generated by the Ethernet DCM.
Enabling the Ethernet DCM
The quickest way to begin using RMON is to enable a newly installed data
collection module (DCM). The DCM runs the RMON agent software that gathers
statistics for Ethernet remote monitoring support. You enable the Ethernet DCM
by creating the data collection module middleware (DCMMW) software
configuration using the default configuration parameter values. For information
about modifying the default configuration parameters, refer to Chapter 4.
To enable the Ethernet DCM from the Configuration Manager window:
1. Select Platform > DCM 11.0 and later > Create Base Module DCM.
The Edit Base Module DCM Parameters window opens.
2. Click on OK to accept the default configuration parameters.
Once the Ethernet DCM is enabled and collecting statistics, you can use
Optivity LAN software or a third-party RMON network management application
to view and analyze statistics.
Customizing the Ethernet DCM
For information about customizing the DCMMW configuration parameters, refer
to “Managing the Ethernet DCM” in Chapter 4.
