Configuring SNMP Services
1-13
Some RMON network management applications expect the DCM to set up a Host
configuration, while others set up their own configurations.
The Host configuration requires 148 bytes. The Host data requires 105 bytes of
memory per host address the DCM detects on a segment.
You specify the maximum number of host addresses that appear in the Host
configuration by setting the RMON Max Host parameter when you enable a
DCM. If there is not enough memory for the number of hosts you request, the
RMON agent sets the RMON Max Host parameter to the highest possible value.
The number of addresses can range from 100 to 8,128 hosts, depending on the
DCM memory configuration. Table 1-4 shows recommended values for this
parameter.
You calculate the total memory (in bytes) you need for the host data as follows:
105 * Value of the RMON Max Host parameter
HostTopN Group
To save memory and increase performance, there is no default configuration for
the HostTopN group. You must create HostTopN configurations through your
RMON network management application. You can create as many HostTopN
configurations as memory permits, up to the RMON limit of 65,535
configurations.
Note: The RMON agent allows you to create only one Host configuration. Be
sure to set the RMON Default Host parameter according to the expectations of
the RMON network management application.
