The second step (Frame 92) stores the configuration entries. Among the values set are the buckets requested (100), the control interval (five seconds), and the control owner (Armon). The RMON agent confirms these values in Frame 93 and indicates a value of 1 (valid) for the historyControlStatus object {1.3.6.1.2.1.16.2.1.1.7.52021}. To confirm the creation of the table, the manager issues a GetRequest for the table objects in Frame 94, which are returned with their values in Frame 95. All objects were created as indicated in the SetRequest command.

In summary, the RMON MIB provides a way to manage remote and directly connected network devices. The next two case studies will explore the capabilities of RMON in greater detail.
