T-MACs and E-MACs installed in your hub:

Figure 117. Status Display for DMM Interfaces
This information allows you to determine which segments can be monitored by a
T-MAC or E-MAC. In this example, we have two E-MACs assigned to Ethernet_1
and Ethernet_3 and two T-MACs assigned to token-ring_10 and token_ring_7
segments. Also, we have defined a SLIP interface for the DMM, but at the time
of this display, the SLIP interface was not active. Note that the MAC addresses
shown are those of the T-MAC and E-MACs, and the admin statis as
configured by SET MODULE INTERFACEcommand for the T-MAC or E-MAC.
The admin statshould be UPfor the DMM to be able to use that interface to
monitor the corresponding network.
As shown in Figure 117, each E-MAC or T-MAC has an interface index
assigned to it automatically. You must use this interface indexin referring to
the E-MAC and T-MAC in various monitoring commands as discussed later in
this section.
The following sections provide a summary of monitoring functions provided by
E-MAC and T-MAC.
Note
Readers are advised not to confuse the DMM MONITORcommand with
what we have called in this book the Monitoring Functions of DMM″.
10.6.1 Monitoring Functions Supported by E-MAC
E-MAC provides the following functions:
Support for standard RMON MIBs:
RFC 1271 media independent
DMM (and E-MAC) allow you to collect the following RMON information for the
Ethernet segments in your 8260:
