Table 8. Professional RMON Groups
Group	Function
Application Layer	Monitors traffic at the application layer for protocols defined
Matrix (and Top N)	in the Protocol Directory. Top N gathers the top n application
	layer matrix entries.
Network Layer Matrix	Monitors traffic at the network layer for protocols defined in
(and Top N)	the Protocol Directory. Top N gathers the top n network
	layer matrix entries.
Address Map	Records MAC address to network address bindings
	discovered for specified ports.
User History	Records historical data on user-defined statistics.

Control Tables

Many RMON groups contain both control and data tables. Control tables specify what statistics are to be collected. For example, you can specify the port for which statistics are to be collected and the owner (name, phone, or IP address) for that port. You can change many of the entries in a control table with rmon commands. Data tables contain the collected statistics. You cannot change any of the entries in a data table; you can only view the data.

When you specify the Lite, Standard, or Professional RMON groups, you have the option of creating default control tables. A default control table creates a control table entry for every port on the SSR. Creating default control tables essentially configures data collection for every port on the SSR for certain RMON groups. If you do not want this, you can choose not to create the default control tables and then configure the appropriate control tables for the data you wish to collect. Even if you use the default control tables, you can always use the rmon commands to modify control table entries.

If you choose to create default control tables, entries are created in the control tables for each port on the SSR for the following groups:

Lite groups:	Etherstats
	History
Standard groups:	Host
	Matrix
Professional groups:	Protocol Distribution
	Address Map
	Application Layer/Network Layer Host
	Application Layer/Network Layer Matrix
