Chapter 10 RMON The Remote Network Monitoring (RMON) MIB is an interface between the RMON agent on a Business Policy Switch 2000 and an RMON management application, such as the Device Manager. It defines objects that are suitable for the management of any type of network, but some groups are targeted for Ethernet networks in particular. The RMON agent continuously collects statistics and proactively monitors switch performance. You can view this data through the Device Manager.
Chapter 10 RMON Viewing statistics Device Manager gathers Ethernet statistics that you can have graphed in a variety of formats, or you can save them to a file and export the statistics to an outside presentation or graphing application. To view RMON Ethernet statistics: 1 Select an object (port or chassis). 2 Do one of the following: • • • From the shortcut menu, choose Graph. From the Device Manager main menu, choose Graph > Port. On the toolbar, click Graph button.
Chapter 10 RMON 211 Viewing history Ethernet history records periodic statistical samples from a network. A sample is called a history and is gathered in time intervals referred to as “buckets.” Histories establish a time-dependent method for gathering RMON statistics on a port. The default values for history are: • • Buckets are gathered at 30-minute intervals. Number of buckets gathered is 50. Both the time interval and the number of buckets is configurable.
Chapter 10 RMON Creating a history You can use RMON to collect statistics at intervals. For example, if you want RMON statistics to be gathered over the weekend, you will want enough buckets to cover two days. To do this, set the history to gather one bucket each hour, thus covering a 48-hour period. After you set history characteristics, you cannot modify them; you must delete the history and create another one.
Chapter 10 RMON 213 Figure 113 RMONControl, Insert History dialog box 3 Select the port from the port list or type the port number. 4 Set the number of buckets. The default is 50. 5 Set the interval. The default is 1800 seconds. 6 Type the owner, the network management system that created this entry. 7 Click Insert. Table 85 describes the History tab of the RmonControl dialog box.

Chapter 10 RMON 219 Alarms Alarms are useful when you need to know when the values of a variable go out of range. You can define an RMON alarm for any MIB variable that resolves to an integer value. You cannot use string variables (such as system description) as alarm variables. All alarms share the following characteristics: • • • An upper and lower threshold value is defined. A corresponding rising and falling event occurs. An alarm interval or polling period is reached.
Chapter 10 RMON Figure 118 How alarms fire Rising value Falling value Alarm fires No firing 7821EA It is important to note that the alarm fires during the first interval that the sample goes out of range. No additional events are generated for that threshold until the opposite threshold is crossed. Therefore, it is important to carefully define the rising and falling threshold values for alarms to work as expected. Otherwise, incorrect thresholds causes an alarm to fire at every alarm interval.
Chapter 10 RMON 221 or spanning tree is disabled (which would cause the value for outbound octets to drop to zero), the falling alarm cannot fire because the baseline traffic is always greater than the value of the falling threshold. By definition, the failure of the falling alarm to fire prevents the rising alarm from firing a second time.
Chapter 10 RMON and allows for the detection of threshold crossings that span the sampling boundary. If you track the current values of a given delta-valued alarm and add them together, therefore, the result is twice the actual value. (This result is not an error in the software.) Alarm Manager example Note: The example alarm described in the following procedure generates at least one alarm every five minutes. The example is intended only to demonstrate how alarms fire; it is not a useful alarm.
Chapter 10 RMON 223 2 In the variable field, select a variable for the alarm from the list and a port (or other ID) on which you want to set an alarm (Figure 121). Figure 121 Alarm variable list Alarm variables are in three formats, depending on the type: • • • A chassis alarm ends in .x where the x index is hard-coded. No further information is required. A card, spanning tree group (STG) or EtherStat alarm ends with a dot (.).

To do so, you must set the HP OpenView path to include the UNIX environment variable. The path is set in the .cshrc file.
Chapter 10 RMON 2 Ensure that the HP OpenView directory is in path /opt/OV/bin. MIB files are shipped with the Device Manager and are located in the following directory: dm/hpov/baystack_mibs 3 Load each of the MIB files in the following order: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • bayAgent.mib bayChas.mib bayChasTraps.mib bayEMTmib baylfex.mib bayS5Reg.mib bayS5Rt.mib bayS5Tcs.mib baySRoot.mib rc_vlan.mib rfc1213.mib rfc1215.mib rfc1447.mib rfc1450.mib rfc1493.mib rfc1573_bs.mib rfc1573_rcc.
Chapter 10 RMON 233 Log only event bug HP OpenView versions 4.0 and 5.0 contain bugs that do not affect the integrity of the product when it stands alone. However, when combined with Device Manager, unexpected results occur. The “Log only” event categorization bug in HP OpenView 4.0 causes traps to be written to the ASCII trap log file and to be displayed in the event browser. The default category for SNMP traps, such as “link up” and “link down,” happens to be “Log only.
