Remote Monitoring (RMON)

The Dell Networking operating software (FTOS) remote monitoring (RMON) is implemented on the Z9000 platform.

FTOS RMON is based on IEEE standards, providing both 32-bit and 64-bit monitoring and long-term statistics collection.

FTOS RMON supports the following RMON groups, as defined in RFC-2819, RFC-3273, and RFC-3434:

• Ethernet Statistics Table; RFC-2819

• Ethernet Statistics High-Capacity Table; RFC-3273, 64bits

• Ethernet History Control Table; RFC-2819

• Ethernet History Table; RFC-2819

• Ethernet History High-Capacity Table; RFC-3273, 64bits

• Alarm Table; RFC-2819

• High-Capacity Alarm Table (64bits); RFC-3434, 64bits

• Event Table; RFC-2819

• Log Table; RFC-2819

FTOS RMON does not support the following statistics:

• etherStatsCollisions

• etherHistoryCollisions

• etherHistoryUtilization

NOTE: Only SNMP GET/GETNEXT access is supported. Configure RMON using the RMON commands. Collected

data is lost during a chassis reboot.

rmon alarm

Set an alarm on any MIB object.

Z9000

Syntax

rmon alarm number variable interval {delta | absolute} rising-

threshold value event-number falling-threshold value event-

number [owner string]

To disable the alarm, use the no rmon alarm number command.

Parameters

number

Enter the alarm integer number from 1 to 65535. The value must be

unique in the RMON alarm table.

variable

Enter the MIB object to monitor. The variable must be in the SNMP

OID format; for example, 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3. The object type must be a 32-

bit integer.
