Adding or Editing an Entry in the Control Table
Click on the Add (Edit) button in the Statistics Control Table to add (edit)
an index entry. The dialog box that opens includes three fields (1) entry
index number, (2) system interface number, and (3) owner of this entry. The
system automatically generates an index number, but you can enter any
number from 1 to 65,535 that is not currently in use. Each interface
number equates to a physical media on the device being monitored. This
information can be found under MIB2 as shown to the right. (See “MIB
Browser” on page 6-11.)
The interfaces to the SMC6724L3 1 switch are listed in the tables below.
SMC6724L3 1 Interface Description
Viewing Statistics
The RMON Manager collects statistics that allow you to quickly determine how the network is performing.
Information is provided on bandwidth utilization, packet types, errors and collisions, as well as the distribution of
packet sizes. Information is also included on peak utilization. Statistics are displayed in both a numeric and
graphical format that can be easily interpreted. To display statistics for a specific entry, click on the View button in
the Control Table. The various statistic screens are shown below. The scale for the graphic displays are
automatically adjusted to present the best view possible. (However, note that the smallest increment on the vertical
axis is limited to 0.05.). If necessary, you can reduce the polling interval to focus in a specific problem area, or
increase it to reduce the overall management traffic running on the network.
