RMON history management using EDM
Use the following procedures to manage RMON history.
Displaying RMON history using EDM
Ethernet history records periodic statistical samples from a network. A sample is called a
history and is gathered in time intervals referred to as buckets. Histories establish a time-
dependent method for gathering RMON statistics on a port. The default values for history are
as follows:
• Buckets are gathered at 30–second and 30–minute intervals.
• Number of buckets gather is 15 for the 30–second intervals, and 5 for the 30–minute
intervals
You can configure both the time interval and the number of buckets. However, when the last
bucket is reached, bucket 1 is dumped and recycled to hold a new bucket of statistics. Then
subsequent buckets are dumped in numerical order.
Use this procedure to view RMON history.
Procedure
1. In the navigation tree, double-click Rmon.
2. In the RMON tree, double-click Control.
The Rmon Control work area appears with the History tab displayed.
Creating RMON history characteristics using EDM
You can use RMON to collect statistics at intervals. For example, if you want to gather RMON
statistics over the weekend, you must configure enough buckets to cover two days. To do this,
set the history to gather one bucket each hour, covering the 48-hour period. After you set history
characteristics, you cannot modify them; you must delete the history and create another
one.
