Configuring RMON using Device Manager

The following sections describe how to configure RMON using Device Manager.
It includes the following topics:
Topic
Enabling RMON globally
Using Ethernet statistics
Understanding RMON history
Configuring RMON alarms
Understanding RMON events

Layer 2 / Layer 3 redundancy clarification

L2 redundancy supports the synchronization of VLAN and QoS software
parameters. L3 redundancy, which is an extension to and includes the L2
redundancy software feature, supports the synchronization of VLAN and QoS
software parameters, static and default route records, ARP entries, and LAN
virtual interfaces. Specifically, L3 redundancy passes table information and layer
3 protocol-specific control packets to the standby CPU.
When using L2/L3 redundancy, the bootconfig file is saved onto both the master
and the standby CPUs and the standby CPU is reset automatically.You must
manually reset the master CPU.

L3 redundancy limitations and considerations

This section describes the limitations and considerations of the L3 redundancy
feature:
•
•
L3 redundancy (HA-CPU) is not compatible with PCAP. Be sure to disable
HA-CPU prior to using PCAP.
Enabling L3 redundancy disables the IP dynamic routing protocols OSPF,
RIP, and BGP; consequently, the CLI routing protocol commands config ip
ospf, config ip rip, and config ip bgp will no longer be available.
