RMON

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

RMON stands for Remote Monitoring. It is a standard used in telecommunications equipment e.g. in routers, which implement a MIB (Management Information Base) which allows for remote monitoring and management of network equipment. RMON uses an agent running on the device being monitored to supply information over SNMP to a management workstation (or some other system). EMANATE is such an agent.

The current RMON standard is RFC 2819. It is extended by several RFCs, including RFC 2021 which extends it towards the application layer.
