Using Ethernet Statistics; Enabling Rmon Statistics (Default) - Nortel Passport 8600 Configuring

If you want to use nondefault RMON parameter values, you should set them
before enabling RMON or when you create the specific RMON function.

Using Ethernet statistics

You can use Device Manager to gather and graph Ethernet statistics in a variety
of formats, or you can save them to a file and export them into an outside
presentation or graphing application.
Note:
This implementation of RMON requires a "control" row for Ethernet statistics.
This control row appears as "port" 0/1 when you choose RMON > Control > Ethernet
Statistics. The row ID is reserved for the control row. Therefore, some automated tests,
such as ANVL, may fail when the test attempts to create a row 1.

Enabling RMON statistics (default)

To enable RMON statistics:
1
On the device view, select a port or multiple ports.
2
Right-click the selected ports.
The Port shortcut menu opens
3
In the Port shortcut menu, select Enable Rmon Stats.
