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 6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25 have an embedded RMON agent that gathers statistics for each interface on the module.

Data Source (Read-only)

This field displays the source of the statistics data that is currently being displayed on the screen. Figure 5-35shows that the data source for this RMON index is Interface 1 (port 1) by displaying the name IfIndex.1. If the screen was displaying RMON statistics for Interface 22 (port 22), the name displayed would be IfIndex.22.

Owner (Read-only)

This field displays the name of the entity that configured this entry.

Status (Read-only)

The Status field displays the current operating status of the displayed interface. This field will display “Valid” or “Invalid”.

Drop Events (Read-only)

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

NOTE

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

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 frames that were directed to the broadcast address. The value of this field does not include multicast frames.
