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

• Use the policy framework to configure RMON that allows NFM-P users to deploy configurations to multiple devices.

• Map RMON events to information alarms in the NFM-P GUI.

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:

• 7210 SAS

• 7450 ESS

• 7705 SAR

• 7750 SR

• 7950 XRS

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