Information About RMON

RMON
RMON is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard monitoring specification that allows various network agents
and console systems to exchange network monitoring data. You can use the RMON feature with the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) agent in the switch to monitor all the traffic flowing among switches on all connected LAN
segments as shown in Figure 72 on page 510.
