History group contains the records of statistical network values collected periodically
and is stored temporarily for later retrieval. A history group can provide the history data
of the statistics on network segment traffic, error packets, broadcast packets, utilization
and collision times.
With the history data management function, you can configure network devices such as
collecting history data, collecting periodically the data of a specific port and saving
them.
V. Statistics group
Statistics group contains the statistics of each monitored port on a network device. An
entry in a statistics group is an accumulated value counting from the time when the
corresponding event is defined.
The statistics include the number of the following items: collisions, packets with cyclic
redundancy check (CRC) errors, undersize (or oversize) packets, broadcast packets,
multicast packets, and received bytes and packets.
With the RMON statistics management function, you can monitor the usage of a port
and make statistics on the errors occurred when the ports are being used.
