Revised: April 22, 2008, OL-16566-01

CiscoView Mini-RMON Manager provides web-enabled, real-time, remote monitoring (RMON) information to users to facilitate troubleshooting and improve network availability. Used in conjunction with certain Cisco devices, CiscoView Mini-RMON Manager provides visibility into network issues/problems before they become critical. To use this application, you must first install the Mini-RMON patch, which makes the necessary updates to the CiscoView engine and installs the CiscoView Mini-RMON Manager device package. See Device Packages, page 1-16 for more information.

Starting CiscoView Mini-RMON Manager


Step 1 Click Mini-RMON from one of the following three locations:

From a device's chassis view, the CiscoView Options bar.

From the CiscoWorks LMS Portal, the CiscoView tab.

From Device Center, the Functions Available pane.

The CiscoView Mini-RMON Manager Overview page appears.

Step 2 Do one of the following in the Device Selector pane:

In the Device Name/IP field, enter the name or IP address of the device you want to monitor and then click Go. The SNMP Credentials dialog box appears.

Perform either a standard or advanced device search. See Searching for a Device, page 1-9 and Performing an Advanced Device Search, page 1-9 for more information.

From the list of all devices managed by DCR Administration, navigate to and select the device you want to monitor.


Note DCR Administration displays only those devices which are supported by CiscoView Mini-RMON Manager.


If you selected a device from the list, you can stop here. Otherwise, proceed to Step 3.

Step 3 Enter the appropriate SNMPV1/V2C or SNMPV3 credentials and then click OK.
