Configuring RMON 943
■ Compares the result with the defined threshold and generates an appropriate 
event.
n
If the count result overpasses the same threshold multiple times, only the first one 
can cause an alarm event. That is, the rising alarm and falling alarm are alternate.
History group
The history group controls the periodic statistical sampling of data, such as 
bandwidth utilization, number of errors, and total number of packets.
Note that each value provided by the group is a cumulative sum during a sampling 
period.
Ethernet statistics group
The statistics group monitors port utilization. It provides statistics about network 
collisions, CRC alignment errors, undersize/oversize packets, broadcasts, 
multicasts, bytes received, packets received, and so on.
After the creation of a valid event entry on a specified interface, the Ethernet 
statistics group counts the number of packets received on the current interface. 
The result of the statistics is a cumulative sum.
