• CLI-based management console to provide detailed out-of-band management

• Remote Monitoring (RMON) software agent to support four RMON groups (history, statistics, alarms, and events) for enhanced traffic

management, monitoring, and analysis

• Support for all nine RMON groups through the use of a Cisco SwitchProbe

analyzer (Switched Port Analyzer [SPAN]) port, which permits

traffic monitoring of a single port, a group of ports, or the entire switch from a single network analyzer or RMON probe

• Analysis support, including ingress port, egress port, and VLAN SPAN

• NetFlow VLAN statistics (Cisco Catalyst 4500 NetFlow Services Card required)

• Remote SPAN (RSPAN)
