1 - 8 Ethernet RMON MultiProbe Module Installation and Operation Guide
Theory of Operation
This section describes the theory of operation for the RMON MultiProbe
Module.
The RMON MultiProbe Module:
❑ Supports simultaneous analysis of three Ethernet channels
❑ Monitors the network proactively
For example, when a network event occurs or a problem becomes
apparent in the network, you use a protocol analyzer to attempt to isolate
and correct the problem. RMON technology also provides you with
protocol analyzer capabilities. However, RMON takes a more proactive
approach to network monitoring by:
❑ Alerting you of network events before they can become a problem
❑ Providing you with information to help isolate problems
You can also configure the RMON MultiProbe Module to check
continuously for specific error conditions and notify you or log the event
when the conditions occur.
