Segment Activity Report 103

Segment Activity This report contains detailed information on each specified segment. For

Reportthe purposes of reporting, it is assumed that each separate segment of your network is monitored by an agent interface.

Many sites (particularly in a switched environment) have large numbers of segments and it may be too expensive to instrument all of them with RMON-2 agents. One option at such sites is to use any existing, embedded RMON-1 only devices (hubs, switches, routers etc.) to produce lightweight Segment Activity reports for the otherwise un-instrumented segments. See Appendix I, “Using RMON-1 Agents” for more information.
