RMON Statistics Screen

The following definitions explain each field of the RMON Statistics screen:

RMON Index (Read-only)

This field displays the current Ethernet interface for which statistics are being shown. The 2H22-08R has an embedded RMON agent that gathers statistics for each of its interfaces.

Data Source (Read-only)

This field displays the source of the statistics data that is currently being displayed on the screen. Figure 5-27shows that the data source for this RMON index is Interface 1 by displaying the name IfIndex.1. If the screen was displaying RMON statistics for Interface 4, the name displayed would be IfIndex.4.

Owner (Read-only)

This field displays the name of the entity that last configured the device.

Status (Read-only)

The Status field displays the current operating status of the displayed interface. This field displays “valid” or “invalid”.

Drop Events (Read-only)

This field displays the total number of times that the RMON agent was forced to discard packets due to the lack of available switch resources.

NOTE

The Drop Events field does not display the number of packets dropped, it only displays the number of times that the RMON agent was forced to discard packets.

Collisions (Read-only)

This field displays the total number of collisions that have occurred on this interface.

Broadcast Pkts (Read-only)

The Broadcast Pkts field displays the total number of good packets that were directed to the broadcast address. The value of this field does not include multicast packets.
