RMON Statistics

Remote Monitoring (RMON) is an extension to the Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) which provides network traffic statistics. RMON defines current and historical MAC-layer
statistics and control objects, allowing real-time information to be captured across the entire
network. The system provides a means to collect the statistics defined in RMON and to view the
results using the Web management interface. There is no SNMP management interface in the
system.
NOTE: The PowerConnect™ 2708/2716/2724/2748 devices support one RMON group for
Ethernet statistics.
The RMON Statistics page contains links for viewing network information from a remote location.
To open, click RMON Statistics in the tree view.
