                        RMON Overview Remote Monitoring (RMON) is a standards-based network management  tool that allows you to efficiently and effectively monitor segments  throughout the network. You can use RMON to identify and isolate  potential problems in your network before disruptions occur. RMON-compliant devices operate without impacting network operation.  They function as promiscuous devices, which listen to and capture data on  the network, but do not add additional traffic. The following sections describe
