Control Tables
Many RMON groups contain both control and data tables. Control tables specify what
statistics are to be collected. For example, you can specify the port for which statistics are
to be collected and the owner (name, phone, or IP address) for that port. You can change
many of the entries in a control table with rmon commands. Data tables contain the
collected statistics. You cannot change any of the entries in a data table; you can only view
the data.
When you specify the Lite, Standard, or Professional RMON groups, you have the option
of creating default control tables. A default control table creates a control table entry for
every port on the IA. Creating default control tables essentially configures data collection
for every port on the IA for certain RMON groups. If you do not want this, you can choose
not to create the default control tables and then configure the appropriate control tables
for the data you wish to collect. Even if you use the default control tables, you can always
use the rmon commands to modify control table entries.
