BLADE OS 5.1 Application Guide
218 Chapter 13: Remote Monitoring BMD00113, September 2009
RMON Group 1—Statistics
The switch supports collection of Ethernet statistics as outlined in the RMON statistics MIB, in
reference to etherStatsTable. You can enable RMON statistics on a per-port basis, and you
can view them using the following command:
/stat/port <x>/rmon
RMON statistics are sampled every second, and new data overwrites any old data on a given port.
Note – RMON port statistics must be enabled for the port before you can view RMON statistics.
RMON Statistics Example
To configure RMON Statistics:
1. Enable RMON on each port where you wish to collect RMON statistics.
2. View RMON statistics for the port.
>> # /cfg/port 20/rmon (Select Port 20 RMON)
>> Port 20 RMON# ena (Enable RMON)
>> Port 20 RMON# apply (Make your changes active)
>> Port 20 RMON# save (Save for restore after reboot)
>> # /stats/port 20 (Select Port 23 Stats)
>> Port Statistics# rmon
