Installing and Operating the Module 3 - 27
Gathering Network Statistics
When you assign all ports on the 24-Port Module to the same network, an
installed management module can simultaneously monitor all ports on one
connector individually as it monitors the ports on the other connector
collectively.
For example, you can use an installed EMM or Distributed Management
Module (DMM) to simultaneously:
Monitor ports 1 through 12 individually
Sum up statistics for ports 13 through 24 at a single “logical port”
(port 13)
Gathering statistics for individual ports on one connector enables network
management to provide a detailed statistical view of each port on that
connector. Collective statistics gathering for all ports on the other
connector ensures you have at least a high-level statistical view of ports on
that connector.
An ONline management command lets you switch to monitor the other
connector. The following section describes the SET MODULE command.
