Statistics (RMON group 1)—Collects Ethernet statistics (including Fast Ethernet and Gigabit

Ethernet statistics, depending on the switch type and supported interfaces) on an interface.

History (RMON group 2)—Collects a history group of statistics on Ethernet ports (including Fast

Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet statistics, depending on the switch type and supported interfaces) for

a specified polling interval.

Alarm (RMON group 3)—Monitors a specific management information base (MIB) object for a

specified interval, triggers an alarm at a specified value (rising threshold), and resets the alarm at

another value (falling threshold). Alarms can be used with events; the alarm triggers an event, which

can generate a log entry or an SNMP trap.

Event (RMON group 9)—Specifies the action to take when an event is triggered by an alarm. The

action can be to generate a log entry or an SNMP trap.
