Creating a history

You can use RMON to collect statistics at intervals. For example, if you want RMON statistics to be gathered over the weekend, you will want enough buckets to cover two days. To do this, set the history to gather one bucket each 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 main menu, choose RMON > Control.

The RMONControl dialog box opens with the History tab displayed.

2. Select an index and then click Insert.

The RMONControl, Insert History dialog box opens.

3. Select the port from the port list or type the port number.
4. Set the number of buckets.

The default is 50.

5. Set the interval.

The default is 1800 seconds.

6. Type the owner, the network management system that created this entry.
7. Click Insert.
