RMON

This chapter provides some information about the D-View RMON Module.
Network management works by placing a small degree of intelligence into network
devices (routers, bridges, hubs, workstations, etc.) to be managed. This intelligence
takes the form of an agent that is capable of collecting statistics and status
information, as well as performing control operations that affect the operation of the
network. The agent responds to queries for information from the centralized network
management system, allowing the health and performance of the network to be
monitored and controlled. RMON, an acronym for Remote Monitoring, was developed by
the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) to provide a standard protocol for
monitoring and managing different groups of information over a network. The features
of RMON are organized into cohesive collections simply called groups. These groups are
the basic unit of performance. The D-Link devices utilize four key RMON groups. These
four groups are described in the table below†.
