12Status Monitoring and Statistics

This chapter describes how to view the current operating status of the switch, how to display information in the switch log, and how to take advantage of the RMON capabilities available in the switch.

Viewing statistics on a regular basis allows you to see how well your network is performing. If you keep simple daily records, you will see trends emerging and notice problems arising before they cause major network faults. This way, statistics can help you get the best out of your network.
