The book begins with some theory about what tasks network administrators need to do, such as monitoring performance, faults and accounting, along with configuration and security control. The guide then describes SNMP--which was introduced in 1989--as a successful solution to the basic problems of network administration. (One of the strengths of SNMP is that it allows administrators to work with disparate networks running on TCP/IP.) The author details how an SNMP Management Information Base (MIB)--which stores network information--is organised and also how the protocol works to collect and store network information.
The RMON standard actually uses SNMP with its own MIB format to collect statistics about a network. The author provides detailed descriptions of this information, along with RMON filters and alarms, which can be used to troubleshoot a network.
New and improved standards RMONv2, SNMPv2 and SNMPv3 comprise the remainder of this book. RMONv2 allows network administration of more kinds of networks and devices. SNMPv2 provides enhanced administration capabilities, while SNMPv3 adds the security and encryption that was lacking in earlier versions of the protocol.
This textbook is crammed with tables and statistics and shows off the author's command of the relevant networking standards. Much more readable than the Request for Comments (RFC) documents that describe these standards, this title provides a comprehensive reference work on SNMP and RMON for the working Internet professional. --Richard Dragan
This book is the definitive guide to SNMP-based network and internetwork management for network administrators, managers, and designers. Concise, focusing on practical issues, and completely up to date, it covers SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and the most recent SNMPv3, as well as RMON 1 and RMON 2. The book provides an extensive discussion on standard MIBs (Management Information Bases), including MIB-II and the all-important Ethernet Interface MIB for Internet connections. In addition, the book presents RMON 1 and RMON 2 enhancements, looking at statistics collection, alarms, and filters, as well as the extensions to RMON 1 for RMON 2 devices.

In fairness this book does contain a wealth of knowledge and lots of facts (and I mean 'LOTS' of facts). Sadly this vital data is locked in a unholy mix of novelist babble, information overload and the ability to waffle endlessly without actually saying anything.
One for scholars perhaps but not if you want to learn anything useful in a resonable timeframe!
well worth the money I spent for it.
