To be able to collect and view the above information, you must perform the following steps:

1.Use the SHOW INTERFACEcommand to determine the interface index for each E-MAC installed in your hub.

2.Enable the E-MAC interface if not enabled already. You can do this using the following command for the E-MAC:

set module {slot.subslot} interface enable

3. Enable the RMON probe function of the E-MAC using the following command:

set module {slot.subslot} rmon_probe enable

Note: Enabling the probe-mode function causes E-MAC to rest.

Enabling the rmon_probe function on the E-MAC allows you to add and delete control table entries (as discussed in the next step) for the following RMON groups:

4.To be able to collect the information about each RMON group, you must add the DMM interface to the RMON control table of that group. You can do this for each RMON group using the following commands:

Host group

SET RMON HOST INTERFACE {interface index}

History group

SET RMON HISTORY INTERFACE {interface index}

Statistics group

SET RMON STATISTICS ETHERNET INTERFACE {interface index}

Matrix group

SET RMON MATRIX INTERFACE {interface index}

Event group

SET RMON EVENT {event_type} {interface index}

The event_type can be as follows:

log

log_trap

trap

none
