RMON overview
Remote Monitoring (RMON), the internationally recognized network monitoring standard, is a
network management protocol that allows network information to be gathered at a single
workstation. You can use RMON probes to monitor and analyze a single segment only. When
you deploy a switch on the network, there are additional components in the network that cannot
be monitored using RMON. These components include the switch fabric, VLAN, and statistics
for all ports.
