1SMON Overview

This chapter describes SMON, Avaya Inc.’s switched network monitoring

system. This chapter includes the following s:

•What is RMON - A brief description of the RMON standard.

•What is SMON - A general description of SMON switch

monitoring technology.

•Overview of SMON - An introduction to SMON.

•Device SMON Tools - The Device SMON tools and how they

function.

What is RMON

RMON is the internationally recognized and approved standard for

detailed analysis of shared Ethernet and Token Ring media. It ensures

consistency in the monitoring and display of statistics between different

vendors.

RMON’s advanced remote networking capabilities provide the tools

needed to monitor and analyze the behavior of segments on a network.

In conjunction with an RMON agent, RMON gathers details and logical

information about network status, performance, and users running

applications on the network.

An RMON agent is a probe that collects information about segments,

hosts, and traffic, and sends it to a management station.

The network administrator uses software tools to view the information

collected by the RMON agent on the management station.

Avaya P120 SMON User Guide 2

SMON Overview

RMON has two levels:

• RMON I analyzes the MAC layer (Layer 2 in the OSI seven-layer

model).

• RMON II analyzes the upper layers (Layers 3 and above).

RMON is an industry standard that Avaya Inc. and other companies have

adopted in their network management applications. SMON takes the

RMON standard and extends it to the switching environment.

What is SMON

SMON is an extension of the RMON standard. SMON adds to the

monitoring capabilities of RMON in the following ways:

• It provides additional tools and features for monitoring in the

switch environment.

• It provides a global view of traffic flow in a network with multiple

switches.

Device SMON extends RMON I for the MAC layer, and AnyLayer SMON

extends RMON II for the network layer and above. SMON monitoring

collects and displays data in real-time.

Using SMON monitoring, you can get:

• A global view of traffic for all switches on the network.

• An overall view of traffic passing through a specific switch.

• Detailed data about the hosts transmitting packets through a

switch.

• An analysis of traffic passing through each port connected to a

switch.

• A view of traffic between various hosts connected to a switch.

Overview of SMON

SMON is an RMON-compliant network management suite that

implements the SMON extensions to RMON. SMON works with the other

components of Avaya MultiService Network Manager to provide a full

spectrum of in-depth monitoring of switch traffic and network

performance.

Chapter 1

3 Avaya P120 SMON User Guide

SMON consists of a software console application on a workstation and

remote monitoring probes in network devices that support SMON.

The SMON console communicates constantly with the SMON devices on

your network. The console uses the SNMP protocol to gather information

from the devices. SMON provides a suite of powerful graphic display tools

to view this information.

SMON gives you detailed analysis of the traffic flow on your switched

network, from a global view down to a specific host, and from total MAC

layer traffic down to a specific application protocol - all in real-time.

In addition, SMON allows you to set alarms based on traffic thresholds.

When an alarm is triggered, a trap can be sent to the device’s manager

and the event that triggered the alarm can be entered in SMON’s Event

Log.

SMON Devices

SMON provides monitoring capabilities for Avaya Inc’s network devices

that support the SMON extensions of the RMON standard.

Filtering Options

SMON tools provide different methods of filtering the information

displayed on the screen. These method include:

• Specific filtering

• TopN filtering

For information on how to use filters, refer to Appendix A, SMON Dialog

Boxes.

Specific

Filtering Specific filtering options provide the ability to specify the switches,

VLANs, or ports for which you want to view SMON information.

TopN

Filtering TopN filtering provides the ability to filter information based on the

amount of a particular type of traffic being monitored. When using TopN

filtering, specify the number of switches, VLANs, or ports for which you

want to view SMON information. Then select a statistic which will be

used as the basis for the filtering.

Using TopN filtering you can, for example, view information on only the

top 5 most active ports, or on the 8 switches generating the most error

traffic.
