Customizing a DCM for RMON
This chapter describes how to customize an Ethernet data collection module
(DCM) as a remote monitoring (RMON) device. It also describes how to modify
the DCM configuration by changing DCMMW configuration parameters.
Refer to Chapter 2 for RMON concepts and the issues you should consider when
using an Ethernet DCM for RMON. Refer to A
ppendix B for DCMMW
parameter defaults.
Ethernet DCM and RMON Summary
The Ethernet DCM physically connects to BayStack router modules and to the
ARN Ethernet expansion modules. It contains a flash memory SIMM for its own
boot image and configuration files. The Ethernet DCM runs RMON agent
software that:
• Gathers statistics by monitoring packets on an Ethernet segment
• Stores the information according to the RMON MIB specification, in
compliance with RFC 1757
