Cabletron Systems 7000 manual Accessing the Statistics Window

Chapter 3

Statistics

Accessing interface statistics from the Chassis View; available statistics windows

Selecting the Statistics option from the port interface displays in the chassis view will launch the highest level of statistics available for the selected interface: if the interface supports RMON, the appropriate RMON Ethernet statistics will display; if RMON is not supported by the interface Ñ or if the RMON Default MIB component is inactive Ñ MIB-II interface (IF) statistics will display.

Since the SmartSwitch 7000 does provide RMON support, selecting the Statistics option

TIP for any Ethernet or Fast Ethernet interface will launch the appropriate RMON statistics (as long as the RMON MIB component is enabled). For FDDI and ATM interfaces Ñ which do not speciÞcally support RMON stats Ñ the MIB-II interface statistics will display.

Note, too, that the MIB-II IF Statistics window is also available for all port interfaces Ñ regardless of their level of RMON support or the current administrative status of the RMON Default MIB component Ñ via the I/F Summary window (described in Chapter 2) or the bridge port menus in the Bridge Status view (described in the Bridging Chapter in the Tools Guide).

Accessing the Statistics Window

To access the available statistics for each interface:

1.In the Chassis View window, click on the appropriate port interface to display the Port menu.

2.Drag down to Statistics, and release. The RMON Statistics (Figure 3-1, page 3-2) or MIB-II IF Statistics window (Figure 3-3,page 3-7), as appropriate, will appear.
