SMON

SMON Overview

SMON is Avaya's standard-setting switch monitoring technology that has now been adopted as

IETF standard RFC 2613. SMON extends the RMON standard to provide the switch monitoring

tools and features you need to analyze the switched network and all its components.

SMON provides the basis for top-down network monitoring. Top-down monitoring starts when

the you notice particular traffic flow patterns in a global view of the network. The network

manager can progressively focus in and find the specific source or sources of the traffic.

Using this method, the amount of information the network manager must assess is kept to a

minimum. Top-down monitoring is robust enough to enable control of even the most complex

and sophisticated networks.

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 on a network with multiple switches.

SMON monitoring provides:

● A global view of traffic for all switches on the network

● An overall view of traffic passing through a specific switch

● Detailed data of the hosts transmitting packets through a switch

● An analysis of traffic passing through each port connected to a switch, and

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