Please refer to Figure 16-1 that is a sample for SNMP protocol Internation between
management workstation and agent. The workstation can visit the agent of switch by sending
Get Request, Get_next Request, and SNMP message of Set Request, obtain or set the MIB

The agent can also automatically send SNMP TRAP message to the workstation when
something happens in the switch.

16.2 Introduction to RMON

RMON(Remote Network Monitoring, remote network monitor) applied defined standard network
monitoring function and interface, make communications between management end and remote
monitor based on SNMP. RMON provides two kinds of control characteristics: configuration and
operation scheduling.
1. Configuration
Data collection should be configured by remote monitor, but the data type and format should be
specified. RMON MIB is divided into certain functional groups, there is one or more control
tables and one or more data tables inside one of which. Control table is typical readable and
writable table, including information parameter of data table, but data table is readable. During
configuration management end should be configured with proper configuration parameter to
configure remote monitor to collect the required data.
