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 graphic 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.
