• Number of buckets gathered is 50.
Both the time interval and the number of buckets is configurable. However, when
the last bucket is reached, bucket 1 is dumped and “recycled” to hold a new
bucket of statistics. Then bucket 2 is dumped, and so forth.

Creating a history
You can use RMON to collect statistics at intervals. For example, if you want
RMON statistics to be gathered over the weekend, you will want enough buckets
to cover two days. To do this, set the history to gather one bucket each hour, thus
covering a 48-hour period. After you set history characteristics, you cannot
modify them; you must delete the history and create another one.
