You can use Device Manager to gather and graph Ethernet statistics in a variety of formats, or you can save them to a file and export them into an outside presentation or graphing application.
Note:
This implementation of RMON requires a "control" row for Ethernet statistics. This control row appears as "port" 0/1 when you choose RMON > History > Ether Stats Control. The row ID is reserved for the control row. Therefore, some automated tests, such as ANVL, may fail when the test attempts to create a row 1.
To enable RMON statistics on a port basis:
|
Use the port submenu and choose Enable Rmon stats. |
To verify that RMON statistics are enabled:
|
From the Device Manager menu bar, choose Rmon > Control > Ether Stats. |
The Ether Stats tab opens. Note that the default owner displayed is the host name on which Device Manager is running.
Index
A unique value assigned to each interface.
Port
Port from which statistics are gathered.
Owner
Enter a unique name or, as a default, the host name on which the Device Manager software is running will be entered.
To enable RMON statistics on all ports:
