The RMON History group records periodic statistical samples from a network. A sample is called a history and is gathered in time intervals referred to as "buckets." By enabling and creating histories, you establish a time-dependent method for gathering RMON statistics on a port. Following are the default values for history:
Both the time interval and the number of buckets is configurable. However, when the last bucket is reached, bucket 1 is dumped and "recycled" to hold a new bucket of statistics. Then bucket 2 is dumped, and so forth.
