Enabling RMON history (nondefault)

You can use RMON to collect statistics at intervals. For example, if you wanted
RMON statistics to be gathered over the weekend, you would want enough
buckets to cover two days. To do this, you would set the history to gather one
bucket over every hour, thus covering a 48-hour period. After you set history
characteristics, you cannot modify them; you must delete the history and create
another one.
To establish a history for a port and set the bucket interval:
