zRMON Groups
1.1.1 Introduction
Remote Monitoring (RMON) is a type of IETF-defined MIB. It is the most important
enhancement to the MIB II standard. It allows you to monitor traffic on network
segments and even the entire network.
RMON is implemented based on the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
and is fully compatible with the existing SNMP framework.
RMON provides an efficient means of monitoring subnets and allows SNMP to monitor
remote network devices in a more proactive and effective way. It reduces traffic
between network management station (NMS) and agent, facilitating large network
management.
RMON comprises two parts: NMSs and agents running on network devices.
zEach RMON NMS administers the agents within its administrative domain.
zAn RMON agent resides on a network monitor or probe for an interface. It monitors
and gathers information about traffic over the network segment connected to the
interface to provide statistics about packets over a specified period and good
packets sent to a host for example.
RMON allows multiple monitors.A monitor provides two ways of data gathering:
zUsing RMON probes. NMSs can obtain management information from RMON
probes directly and controlnetwork resources. In this approach, RMON NMSs can
obtain all RMON MIB information.
zEmbedding RMON agents in network devices such as routers, switches, and hubs
to provide the RMON probe function. RMON NMSs exchange data with RMON
agents with basic SNMP commands to gather network management information,

which, due to system resources limitation, may not cover all MIB information but
four groups of information, alarm, event, history, and statistics, in most cases.
S9500 series adopts the second way. By using RMON agents on network monitors, an
NMS can obtain information about traffic size, error statistics, and performance
statistics for network management.
1.1.2 RMON Groups
RMON categorizes objects into ten groups. This section describes only the major
implemented five groups.
I. Event group
The event group defines event indexes and controls the generation and notifications of
the events triggered by the alarms defined in the alarm group and the private alarm
group. The events can be handled in one of the following ways:
zLogging events in the event log table
zSending traps to NMSs
zBoth logging and sending traps
zNo action
II. Alarm group
The RMON alarm group monitors specified alarm variables, such as statistics on a port.
If the sampled value of the monitored variable is bigger than or equal to the rising
threshold, a rising alarm event is triggered; if the sampled value of the monitored
variable is lower than or equal to the falling threshold, a falling alarm event is triggered.
The event is then handled as defined in the event group.
The following is how the system handles entries in the RMON alarm table:
1) Samples the alarm variables at the specified interval.
2) Compares the sampled values with the predefined threshold and triggers events if
all triggering conditions are met.
Note:
If a monitored variable overpasses the same threshold multiple times, only the first one
can cause an alarm event. That is, the rising alarm and falling alarm are alternate.
III. Private alarm group
The private alarm group calculates the sampled values of alarm variables and
compares the result with the defined threshold, thereby realizing a more
comprehensive alarming function.
Operation Manual – RMON
H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 1 RMON Configuration
1-3
System handles the prialarm alarm table entry (as defined by the user) in the following
ways:
zPeriodically samples the prialarm alarm variables defined in the prialarm formula.
zCalculates the sampled values based on the prialarm formula.
zCompares the result with the defined threshold and generates an appropriate
event.
IV. History group
The history group controls the periodic statistical sampling of data, such as bandwidth
utilization, number of errors, and total number of packets.
Note that each value provided by the group is a cumulative sum during a sampling
period.
V. Ethernet statistics group
The statistics group monitors port utilization. It provides statistics about network
collisions, CRC alignment errors, undersize/oversize packets, broadcasts, multicasts,
bytes received, packets received, and so on.
After the creation of a valid event entry on a specified interface, the Ethernet statistics
group counts the number of packets received on the current interface. The result of the
statistics is a cumulative sum.
Note:
Currently, S9500 series switches do not support statistics about oversize frames and
bytes received.
1.2 Configuring RMON
1.2.1 Configuration Prerequisites
Before configuring RMON, configure the SNMP agent as described in SNMP
Configuration in the System Volume.
1.2.2 Configuration Procedure
Follow these steps to configure RMON:

Note:
zTwo entries with the same configuration cannot be created. If the parameters of a
newly created entry are identical to the corresponding parameters of an existing
entry, the system considers their configurations the same and the creation fails.
Refer to Table 1-1 for the parameters to be compared for different entries.
zThe system limits the total number of all types of entries (Refer to Table 1-1 for the
detailed numbers). When the total number of an entry reaches the maximum
number of entries that can be created, the creation fails.
