Configuring Rmon; Event Actions - Extreme Networks ExtremeWare XOS Guide Manual

Status Monitoring and Statistics
Cold boot—A cold boot causes the device to reset the configuration parameters stored in non-
■
volatile memory to the factory defaults and then restarts the device using the restored factory
default configuration.
trapDestTable
The trapDestTable contains information about the configured trap receivers on the switch and stores this
information in non-volatile memory.To configure one or more trap receivers, see
Network Management

Configuring RMON

RMON requires one probe per LAN segment, and standalone RMON probes traditionally have been
expensive. Therefore, the approach taken by Extreme Networks has been to build an inexpensive
RMON probe into the agent of each system. This allows RMON to be widely deployed around the
network without costing more than traditional network management. The switch accurately maintains
RMON statistics at the maximum line rate of all of its ports.
To enable or disable the collection of RMON statistics on the switch, use one of the following
commands:
enable rmon
disable rmon
By enabling RMON, the switch begins the processes necessary for collecting switch statistics. By default,
RMON is disabled. However, even in the disabled state, the switch collects etherStats and you can
configure alarms and events.
RMON saves the history, alarm, and event configurations to the configuration file. Runtime data is not
stored in the configuration file and is subsequently lost after a system restart.

Event Actions

The actions that you can define for each alarm are shown in
