RMON Network Management Software
An RMON network management software application, also known as a client,
runs on a network management station, which can be a workstation or PC running
UNIX or Windows
®
. Many RMON clients located at various locations can
simultaneously retrieve information from an AN/ANH or ARN router located on a
specific LAN segment within an internetwork. Optivity Analysis for Windows
NT
®
is an example of an RMON network management application.
After you enable the Ethernet DCM on a router and the Ethernet DCM is
collecting statistics, you can use the following network management applications
to view, analyze, and monitor network RMON and RMON2 statistics:
• Optivity Analysis for UNIX and Optivity LAN applications, both of which are
part of the Optivity Enterprise
™
network management suite
• Optivity Analysis for Windows NT
Optivity Analysis for UNIX
Optivity Analysis for UNIX is a set of graphical network management
applications based on RMON. These Optivity
®
applications offer powerful
RMON-based tools that let you view statistics for an enterprise-wide
internetwork, for specific LAN segments within an internetwork, or for hosts on a
LAN segment.
Each RMON tool is a complete application that represents an intelligent
implementation of the RMON and RMON2 MIB groups. After the tool requests
and receives information from the network management station, it processes the
information and displays a graphical summary of network traffic. Each tool is
configurable, so you can obtain exactly the type of information you need.
