Table 82 History tab fields
Field Description
Index A unique value assigned to each interface. An index identifies an
entry in a table.
Port Any Ethernet interface on the device.
BucketsRequested The requested number of discrete time intervals over which data is
to be saved in the part of the media-specific table associated with
this entry.
BucketsGranted The number of discrete sampling intervals over which data is saved
in the part of the media-specific table associated with this entry.
There are instances when the actual number of buckets associated
with this entry is less than the value of this object. In this case, at the
end of each sampling interval, a new bucket is added to the
media-specific table.
Interval The interval in seconds over which the data is sampled for each
bucket in the part of the media-specific table associated with this
entry. You can set this interval to any number of seconds between
1 and 3600 (1 hour). Because the counters in a bucket may overflow
at their maximum value with no indication, note the possibility of
overflow in any of the associated counters. It is important to consider
the minimum time in which any counter could overflow on a
particular media type and set the historyControlInterval object to a
value less than this interval. This is typically most important for the
’octets’ counter in any media-specific table. For example, on an
Ethernet network, the etherHistoryOctets counter could overflow in
about one hour at the Ethernet’s maximum utilization.
