Configuring an N11 Data Collection Module
This section describes how to configure the N11 Data Collection Module (DCM)
as an Ethernet remote monitoring (RMON) device. It provides
• Overviews of the N11 DCM and RMON
• Instructions for enabling the N11 DCM
• Instructions for managing the N11 DCM using Site Manager
• Instructions for managing the N11 DCM using the Technician Interface
• RMON implementation notes for operating the N11 DCM
About the N11 DCM
The N11 DCM physically connects to the AN or ANH base board. It contains a
Flash memory SIMM for its own boot image and configuration file. The DCM
runs RMON agent software that
• Gathers statistics by monitoring packets on an Ethernet segment
• Stores the information according to the RMON MIB specification, in
compliance with RFC 1757
To communicate with the RMON agent software on the DCM board, the ANH
requires a software subsystem, called DCM middleware (DCMMW). This
software subsystem enables and configures an installed DCM board. Using Site
Manager, you use the DCMMW to
• Enable and initially configure the DCM
• Modify the DCM configuration
• Boot the DCM
• Disable the DCM
To set up other RMON configurations and to view RMON statistics, use Optivity
Design and Analysis software or a third-party RMON network management
application.
Note: This section applies only if you have an optional N11 Ethernet Data
Collection Module (DCM) installed in a BayStack AN or 8-port ANH.
