Creating a History (Nondefault)

You can use RMON to collect statistics at intervals. For example, if you wanted RMON statistics to be gathered over the weekend, you would want enough buckets to cover two days. To do this, you would set the history to gather one bucket over every 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.

To establish a history for a port and set the bucket interval:

1. From the Device Manager menu bar, choose RMON > Control.
2. From the History dialog box, click Insert.

The RMON Control, Insert dialog box opens.

3. Enter the Interval.
4. Click Insert.
