SET RMON MATRIX

SET RMON MATRIX
Use the SET RMON MATRIX command to set up a particular interface to track
conversations between hosts. This command works with Ethernet modules only.
The matrix table is similar to the host table, but tracks network conversations
between hosts, instead of host traffic. For every frame, the MAC extracts the
source and destination address and associates the frame with a conversation.
Network conversations are important for performance modeling. Using Matrix
Table information, you can model the network across bridging devices and
along shared segments. You can optimize network performance by ensuring
that heavy conversations are isolated to shared LANs and do not occur across
heavily-burdened bridging devices.
The ENMC stores up to 2,000 conversations, then discards any new
conversations that arrive.
Format
Example
The following command creates a matrix of conversations monitored by
interface 3:

Entry 1 created.
