RMON
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.
RMON is the internationally recognized and approved standard for detailed analysis of shared
Ethernet media. It ensures consistency in the monitoring and display of statistics between
different vendors.
RMON's advanced remote networking capabilities provide the tools needed to monitor and
analyze the behavior of segments on a network. In conjunction with an RMON agent, RMON
gathers details and logical information about network status, performance, and users running
applications on the network.
