IV. History group
After a history group is configured, the Ethernet switch collects network statistics
information periodically and stores the statistics information temporarily for later
retrieval. A history group can provide the history data of the statistics on network
segment traffic, error packets, broadcast packets, and bandwidth utilization.
With the history data management function, you can configure network devices, such
as collecting history data, collecting the data of a specific port periodically 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
statistics group is created.
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.
