Remote Monitoring (RMON)

FTOS supports remote monitoring (RMON) on the S5000 switch.

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.
