Description: Provides Zhone-specific RMON extensions for remote network monitoring of traffic statistics and events.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is ZHONE-RMON-MIB?

ZHONE-RMON-MIB is a Zhone Technologies proprietary extension to the standard Remote Network Monitoring (RMON) framework, adding vendor-specific objects for remote monitoring of traffic statistics and events on Zhone access/aggregation equipment. As the module description explains, RMON-style MIBs exist specifically for managing remote monitors/probes that collect traffic statistics, alarms, and history data independent of direct SNMP polling of each device. This MIB is therefore inherently a performance and fault monitoring module: it supports tracking traffic-level statistics and configurable alarm/event thresholds that fire notifications when a monitored counter (such as error rates or utilization) crosses a defined limit, which is a core operational-health monitoring function. It is explicitly built as an extension of the standard RMON MIB (RFC 2819 and related), inheriting that framework's statistics/history/alarm/event model while adding Zhone-specific objects. It is deployed on Zhone multiservice access platforms in carrier or enterprise access networks where remote traffic monitoring and alarm generation are needed without constant active polling. Engineers can download the ZHONE-RMON-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ZHONE-RMON-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • Zhone Technologies multiservice access node

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were available for this module, so specific object or table names cannot be cited; consistent with standard RMON extension MIBs, an operator would typically configure alarm entries against a traffic statistic (e.g., error count or utilization) and receive an event/trap when the threshold is crossed, but the exact Zhone-specific object names could not be confirmed from the available data.

What Can Be Monitored

  • traffic statistics (unconfirmed, no sample objects available)
  • alarm/event threshold crossings (unconfirmed)

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using zhoneEtherStatsDropEvents OID:

Select a Zhone Technologies multiservice access node (RMON traffic-statistics/alarm-threshold status) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type zhoneEtherStatsDropEvents into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. The total number of events in which packets were dropped by the probe due to lack of resources. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter64-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
