Whereas SNMP gathers network data from a single type of Management Information Base (MIB), RMON 1 defines nine additional MIBs that provide a capture analysis module that can be purchased separately. Maintenance owners receive the new EtherPeek and EtherPeek NX upgrades as part of their maintenance. About RMONGrabber RMONGrabber is a remote packet analysis module that works with EtherPeek for Windows v5.0 and EtherPeek NX v2.0. RMONGrabber collects packets from an RMON probe directly into an EtherPeek capture window, and enables EtherPeek users to interactively and seamlessly troubleshoot remote networks in the same way, and with the same powerful features available when using EtherPeek to troubleshoot local networks. A network administrator can connect to an RMON probe in a remote office location and instantly view the packets in an EtherPeek Capture window, identifying problem situations without expensive and inconvenient off-site visits. When installed with EtherPeek NX, RMONGrabber can build Peer Maps and perform Expert analysis on traffic from remote networks. About WildPackets Inc.
