Remote network monitoring policies

Overview

You can create remote network monitoring (RMON) policies that allow you to perform the following tasks.

Remote network monitoring allows you to monitor the behavior of functions that are not typically supported by the NFM-P. For example, you can configure events on GNEs to monitor system temperature or CPU usage. The NFM-P can raise informational alarms for the exceeded thresholds. You can also configure custom values to supersede the hard-coded threshold values associated with an NE function.

The NFM-P maps RMON SNMP traps to alarms in the GUI.

Policy distribution and event mapping are supported for the following NE types:

Support for 7210 SAS NEs varies depending on the chassis type and release; see the NE documentation for support information.
