Configuring RMON
RMON is a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard monitoring specification that allows various network agents and console systems to exchange network monitoring data. Cisco NX-OS supports RMON alarms, events, and logs to monitor Cisco NX-OS devices. An RMON alarm monitors a specific management information base (MIB) object for a specified interval, triggers an alarm at a specified threshold value (threshold), and resets the alarm at another threshold value. You can use alarms with RMON events to generate a log entry or an SNMP notification when the RMON alarm triggers. RMON is enabled by default, but no alarms are configured in Cisco NX-OS. You can configure RMON alarms by using the CLI or an SNMP-compatible network management station.
