RMON Statistics

RMON Statistics display key statistics for each port or media module from RMON group 1. (RMON groups 2, 3 and 9 can only be accessed using SNMP management software such as AccView.) The following screen displays overall statistics on traffic passing through each port. RMON statistics provide access to a broad range of statistics, including a total count of different frame types passing through each port. Values displayed have been accumulated since the last system reboot.

Parameter

Description

Drop Events

The total number of events in which packets were dropped due to lack

 

of resources.

Received Bytes

Total number of bytes of data received on the network. This statistic

 

can be used as a reasonable indication of Ethernet utilization.

Received Frames

The total number of frames (bad, broadcast and multicast) received.

Broadcast Frames

The total number of good frames received that were directed to the

 

broadcast address. Note that this does not include multicast packets.

Multicast Frames

The total number of good frames received that were directed to this

 

multicast address.

CRC/Alignment Errors

For 10Mbps ports, the counter records CRC/alignment errors (FCS or

 

alignment errors). For 100Mbps ports, the counter records the sum of

 

CRC/alignment errors and code errors (frame received with rxerror

 

signal).

Undersize Frames

The total number of frames received that were less than 64 octets long

 

(excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets) and were otherwise

 

well formed.

Oversize Frames

The total number of frames received that were longer than 1518 octets

 

(excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets) and were otherwise

 

well formed.

Fragments

The total number of frames received that were less than 64 octets in

 

length (excluding framing bits, but including FCS octets) and had

 

either an FCS or alignment error.
