RMON Statistics Collection

12.24 RMON Statistics Collection

  • Configure SW1 to collect RMON statistics on packets entering the interface connected to R3.
  • Store historical information for the last 100 samples of packet statistics taken every 30 seconds

Configuration

Rack1SW1#sh run int fa0/3
interface FastEthernet0/3
 rmon promiscuous
 rmon collection stats 10003 owner config ! dynamically added command
 rmon collection history 1 owner monitor buckets 100 interval 30

Use command Reference

rmon

To enable Remote Monitoring (RMON) on an Ethernet interface, use the rmon command in interface configuration mode. To disable RMON on the interface, use the no form of this command.

rmon {native | promiscuous}

Syntax Description

native

Enables RMON on the Ethernet interface. In native mode, the router processes only packets destined for this interface.

promiscuous

Enables RMON on the Ethernet interface. In promiscuous mode, the router examines every packet.

SNMP Notifications of Syslog Messages

October 29, 2008 at 4:47 pm | Posted in System Management | Leave a comment

Configuration

snmp-server enable traps syslog
snmp-server host 155.1.146.100 CISCO
!
logging history debugging
logging history size 100

Usage Guidelines

When the history table is full (that is, it contains the maximum number of message entries specified with the logging history size command), the oldest message entry is deleted from the table to allow the new message entry to be stored.

Examples

In the following example, the user sets the number of messages stored in the history table to 20:

logging history size 20

SNMP agents can send Informs or Traps

Traps are messages alerting the SNMP manager to a condition on the network
Informs are traps that require ACK from SNMP manager. Inform are more reliable than Traps

The snmp-server host command is used in conjunction with the snmp-server enable command. Use the snmp-server enable command to specify which SNMP notifications are sent globally. For a host to receive most notifications, at least one snmp-server enable command and the snmp-server host command for that host must be enabled.

Generating Exception Core Dumps

October 28, 2008 at 11:21 am | Posted in System Management | Leave a comment

IEWB1 Vol1 ver5 Task 12.10

  • Configure R3 to save core dumps to an FTP server at 155.X.146.100 under the name “r3-core”.
  • Use active FTP and the username/password values cisco/cisco.
  • Configure the router to generate a memory dump and reload as soon as free memory falls below 1Mbyte.
  • The router should also reload in the case that memory fragmentation prohibits a process from allocating more than 64Kbytes of memory.
  • Disable the local crash information collection.

Configuration

Rack1R3#
