RMON
Encyclopedia : R : RM : RMO : RMON
RMON stands for Remote Monitoring. It is a standard used in telecommunications equipment e.g. in routers, which implement a MIB (Management Information Base) which allows for remote monitoring and management of network equipment. RMON uses an agent running on the device being monitored to supply information over SNMP to a management workstation (or some other system). [EMANATE] is such an agent.
The current RMON standard is RFC 2819. It is extended by several RFCs, including RFC 2021 which extends it towards the application layer.
RMON Groups
The standard describes functions, messages and data structures to support the nine RMON groups of: Statistics, History, Alarms, Hosts, Host Top N, Traffic Matrix, Filters, Packet Capture, and Events. Each of these groups provides specific sets of data to meet common network-monitoring requirements. Each group is optional so that vendors do not need to support all the groups within the Management Information Base (MIB). Some RMON groups require support of other RMON groups to function properly.See also
