Configuring RMON 1059
History group
The history group controls the periodic statistical sampling of data, such as
bandwidth utilization, number of errors, and total number of packets.
Note that each value provided by the group is a cumulative sum during a sampling
period.
Ethernet statistics group
The statistics group monitors port utilization. It provides statistics about network
collisions, CRC alignment errors, undersize/oversize packets, broadcasts,
multicasts, bytes received, packets received, and so on.
After the creation of a valid event entry on a specified interface, the Ethernet
statistics group counts the number of packets received on the current interface.
The result of the statistics is a cumulative sum.
n
Currently, Switch 8800s do not support statistics about oversize frames and bytes
received.
