Statistics

Accessing interface statistics from the Device View; available statistics windows

Each port menu in the Device View window provides two statistics selections: Statistics and I/F Statistics. Selecting the Statistics option will launch the highest level of statistics available for the selected interface: if the interface supports RMON, the RMON statistics window will display; if the interface does not support RMON, or if the RMON Default MIB component has been administratively disabled, the MIB-II I/F Statistics window will display. Selecting the I/F Statistics option will always display MIB-II interface statistics, regardless of the level of RMON support available or the current administrative status of the RMON Default MIB component.

Note that the MIB-II I/F Statistics window is also available for all port interfaces —

TIP regardless of their level of RMON support or the current administrative status of the RMON Default MIB component — via the I/F Summary window accessed from the Device menu, and via the I/F Statistics option on the Bridge Port menu in the Bridge Status view. For more information about the I/F Summary window, see Chapter 2,

The Device View; for more information about the Bridge Status view, see the Element Manager Tools Guide.
