RMON

• Remote Network Monitoring

• Defines remote monitoring MIB that supplements MIB-II and is a step towards internetwork management

• It extends SNMP functionality though it is simply a specification of a MIB

• Problem w/ MIB-II

  • Can obtain info that is purely local to individual devices
  • Cannot easily learn about LAN traffic as a whole (eg like LANanalyzers or “remote monitors”)
