Creating a history (nondefault)
You can use RMON to collect statistics at intervals. For example, if you wanted to gather RMON statistics 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:
- From the Device Manager menu bar, choose Rmon > Control.
| The Rmon Control dialog box opens with the History tab displayed. |
- Click Insert.
| The RmonControl, Insert History dialog box opens. |
- In the Interval field, type the interval.
- Click Insert.
The table below describes the Rmon Control History tab and the RmonControl, Insert History dialog box items.
