as BRIDGE MIB. Besides, the switch supports self-defined private MIB.

5.4.3 Introduction to RMON

RMON is the most important expansion of the standard SNMP. RMON is a set of MIB
definitions, used to define standard network monitor functions and interfaces, enabling the
communication between SNMP management terminals and remote monitors. RMON
provides a highly efficient method to monitor actions inside the subnets.
MID of RMON consists of 10 groups. The switch supports the most frequently used
group 1, 2, 3 and 9:
Statistics: Maintain basic usage and error statistics for each subnet monitored by the
Agent.
History: Record periodical statistic samples available from Statistics.
Alarm: Allow management console users to set any count or integer for sample
intervals and alert thresholds for RMON Agent records.
Event: A list of all events generated by RMON Agent.
Alarm depends on the implementation of Event. Statistics and History display some
current or history subnet statistics. Alarm and Event provide a method to monitor any
integer data change in the network, and provide some alerts upon abnormal events
(sending Trap or record in logs).
