Feedback RMON

RMON is a standard monitoring specification that enables various network monitors and console systems to exchange network-monitoring data.

The RMON specification defines a set of statistics and functions that can be exchanged between RMON-compliant console managers and network probes. As such, RMON provides network administrators with comprehensive network-fault diagnosis, planning, and performance-tuning information.

11.1 Commands

The list of CLI commands for the configuration of RMON is as follows:


Note - The show snmp community command is not supported. Refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Management Protocols Reference Guide for the ILOM equivalent of this command.


Note - SEFOS uses the AgentX protocol to communicate events to the ILOM master SNMP agent of the NEM. To forward these events to external entities, the ILOM interfaces for managing alert rules must be used to configure SNMP trap based rules. Refer to the ILOM documentation to learn about the procedures. An event from SEFOS will trigger an SNMP trap for each rule configured in ILOM.

11.1.1 set rmon

Enables or disables the RMON feature. 


set rmon {enable | disable}


Syntax Description

enable - Enables the RMON feature in the system.

disable - Disables the RMON feature in the system.

Mode

Global Configuration

Defaults

The RMON module is disabled by default.

Example

SEFOS(config)# set rmon enable

Notes

All other RMON module commands can be executed only when the RMON module is enabled. Warning messages are displayed when commands are executed without enabling the RMON feature.


Related Commands

show rmon - Successful execution of this command without any messages indicates that RMON feature is enabled in the system

11.1.2 rmon collection history

Enables history collection of interface statistics in the buckets for the specified time interval. The no form of the command disables the history collection on the interface. 


rmon collection history index_1-65535 [buckets bucket-number_1-65535] [interval seconds1-3600] [owner ownername_127]



no rmon collection history index_1-65535


Syntax Description

index - History table index.

buckets - The maximum number of buckets desired for the RMON collection history group of statistics.

interval - The number of seconds in each polling cycle.

owner - Optional field - allows the user to enter the name of the owner of the RMON group of statistics.

Mode

Interface Configuration

Defaults

bucket-number_1-65535 - 50.

interval - 1800 seconds.

owner - monitor.

Example

SEFOS(config-if)# rmon collection history 1 buckets 2 interval 20

Notes

  • The RMON feature must be enabled for the successful execution of this command.
  • The polling cycle is the bucket interval where the interface statistics details are stored.

Related Commands

show rmon - Displays the history collection for the configured bucket (show rmon history [history-index 1-65535])

11.1.3 rmon collection stats

Enables RMON statistic collection on the interface. The no form of the command disables RMON statistic collection on the interface. 


rmon collection stats index_1-65535 [owner ownername_127]



no rmon collection stats index_1-65535


Syntax Description

index - Statistics table index.

owner - Optional field that allows you to enter the name of the owner of the RMON group of statistics with a string length of 127.

Mode

Interface Configuration

Defaults

owner - monitor

Example

SEFOS(config-if)# rmon collection stats 1

Notes

The RMON feature must be enabled for the successful execution of this command.


Related Commands

show rmon - Displays the history collection for the configured bucket (show rmon history [history-index 1-65535])

11.1.4 rmon event

Adds an event to the RMON event table. The added event is associated with an RMON event number. The no form of the command deletes an event from the RMON event table. 


rmon event number_1-65535 [description event-description_127] [log] [owner ownername_127] [trap community_127]



no rmon event number_1-65535


Syntax Description

number - Event number.

description - Description of the event.

log - Used to generate a log entry.

owner - Owner of the event.

trap - Used to generate a trap. The SNMP community string is to be passed for the specified trap.

Mode

Global Configuration

Example

SEFOS(config)# rmon event 1 log owner sun-qa trap NETMAN

Notes

  • The RMON feature must be enabled for the successful execution of this command.
  • SEFOS uses the AgentX protocol to communicate events to the ILOM master SNMP agent of the NEM. To forward these events to external entities, the ILOM interfaces for managing alert rules must be used to configure SNMP trap based rules. Refer to the ILOM documentation to learn about the procedures. An event from SEFOS will trigger an SNMP trap for each rule configured in ILOM.

11.1.5 rmon alarm

Sets an alarm on a MIB object. The alarm group periodically takes statistical samples from variables in the probe and compares them to thresholds that have been configured. The no form of the command deletes the alarm configured on the MIB object. 


rmon alarm alarm-number mib-object-id_255 sample-interval-time_1-65535 {absolute | delta} rising-threshold value_0-2147483647 [rising-event-number 1-65535] falling-threshold value_0-2147483647 [falling-event-number 1-65535] [owner owner-name_127]



no rmon alarm number_1-65535


Syntax Description

alarm-number - Alarm Number. This value ranges between 1 and 65535.

mib-object-id - The mib object identifier.

sample-interval-time - Time in seconds during which the alarm. monitors the MIB variable. This value ranges between 1 and 65535 seconds.

absolute - Used to test each mib variable directly.

delta - Used to test the change between samples of a variable.

rising-threshold - A number at which the alarm is triggered. This value ranges between 0 and 2147483647.

falling-threshold value - A number at which the alarm is reset. This value ranges between 0 and 2147483647.

rising-event-number - The event number to trigger when the rising threshold exceeds its limit. This value ranges between 1 and 65535. This feature is optional only in the code using the industrial standard command, otherwise this feature is mandatory.

falling-event-number - The event number to trigger when the falling threshold exceeds its limit. This value ranges between 1 and 65535. This feature is optional only in the code using the industrial standard command, otherwise this feature is mandatory.

owner - Owner of the alarm.

Mode

Global Configuration

Defaults

By default, the least event number in the event table is assigned for the rising and falling threshold as its event number.

Example

SEFOS(config)# rmon event 2

SEFOS(config)# rmon alarm 1 1.3.6.1.6.3.16.1.2.1.4.1.4.110.111.110.101 2 absolute rising-threshold 2 2 falling-threshold 1 2 owner sun-qa

Notes

  • The RMON Feature must be enabled for the successful execution of this command.
  • RMON events must have been configured.
  • SEFOS cannot monitor all the MIB objects through RMON. This monitoring is applicable only to the Ethernet interfaces
  • Falling threshold must be less than rising threshold.
