RMON Commands
This chapter describes commands used to monitor the router and network Remote Monitoring (RMON).
For system management configuration tasks and examples, refer to the "Configuring RMON Support" chapter in the Release 12.2 Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
rmon
To enable Remote Monitoring (RMON) on an Ethernet interface, use the rmon interface configuration command. To disable RMON on the interface, use the no form of this command.
rmon {native | promiscuous}
no rmon
Syntax Description
native
|
Enables RMON on the Ethernet interface. In native mode, the router processes only packets destined for this interface.
|
promiscuous
|
Enables RMON on the Ethernet interface. In promiscuous mode, the router examines every packet.
|
Defaults
RMON is disabled on the interface.

Usage Guidelines
This command enables RMON on Ethernet interfaces. A generic RMON console application is recommended in order to use the RMON network management capabilities. SNMP must also be configured. RMON provides visibility of individual nodal activity and allows you to monitor all nodes and their interaction on a LAN segment. When the rmon command is issued, the router automatically installs an Ethernet statistics study for the associated interface.
Note 
RMON can be very data and processor intensive. Users should measure usage effects to ensure that router performance is not degraded and to minimize excessive management traffic overhead. Native mode is less intensive than promiscuous mode.
All Cisco IOS software feature sets support RMON alarm and event groups. Additional RMON groups are supported in certain feature sets. Refer to the Release Notes for feature set descriptions. As a security precaution, support for the packet capture group allows capture of packet header information only; data payloads are not captured.
The RMON MIB is described in RFC 1757.
Examples
The following example enables RMON on Ethernet interface 0 and allows the router to examine only packets destined for the interface:

Description
|
rmon alarm
|
Sets an alarm on any MIB object.
|
rmon event
|
Adds or removes an event in the RMON event table that is associated with an RMON event number.
|
rmon queuesize
|

|
rmon alarm
To set an alarm on any MIB object, use the rmon alarm global configuration command. To disable the alarm, use the no form of this command.
rmon alarm number variable interval {delta | absolute} rising-threshold value [event-number]
falling-threshold value [event-number] [owner string]
no rmon alarm number
Syntax Description
number
|
Alarm number, which is identical to the alarmIndex in the alarmTable in the Remote Monitoring (RMON) MIB.
|
variable
|
MIB object to monitor, which translates into the alarmVariable used in the alarmTable of the RMON MIB.
|
interval
|
Time in seconds the alarm monitors the MIB variable, which is identical to the alarmInterval used in the alarmTable of the RMON MIB.
|
delta
|
Tests the change between MIB variables, which affects the alarmSampleType in the alarmTable of the RMON MIB.
|
absolute
|
Tests each MIB variable directly, which affects the alarmSampleType in the alarmTable of the RMON MIB.
|
rising-threshold value
|
Value at which the alarm is triggered.
|
event-number
|
(Optional) Event number to trigger when the rising or falling threshold exceeds its limit. This value is identical to the alarmRisingEventIndex or the alarmFallingEventIndex in the alarmTable of the RMON MIB.
|
falling-threshold value
|

11.2
|
This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines
The MIB object must be specified as a dotted decimal value after the entry sequence (for example, ifEntry.10.1). You cannot specify the variable name and the instance (for example, ifInOctets.1) or the entire dotted decimal notation. The variable must be of the form entry.integer.instance.
To disable the RMON alarms, you must use the no form of the command on each configured alarm. For example, enter no rmon alarm 1, where the 1 identifies which alarm is to be removed.
See RFC 1757 for more information about the RMON alarm group.
Examples
The following example configures an RMON alarm using the rmon alarm command:
rmon alarm 10 ifEntry.20.1 20 delta rising-threshold 15 1 falling-threshold 0
This example configures RMON alarm number 10. The alarm monitors the MIB variable ifEntry.20.1 once every 20 seconds until the alarm is disabled, and checks the change in the variable's rise or fall. If the ifEntry.20.1 value shows a MIB counter increase of 15 or more, such as from 100000 to 100015, the alarm is triggered. The alarm in turn triggers event number 1, which is configured with the rmon event command. Possible events include a log entry or a SNMP trap. If the ifEntry.20.1 value changes by 0 (falling-threshold 0), the alarm is reset and can be triggered again.
