Table 48 History tab fields

 

 

 

 

Field

Description

 

 

 

 

Index

A unique value assigned to each interface. An index identifies an

 

 

entry in a table.

 

 

 

 

Port

Any Ethernet interface on the device.

 

 

 

 

BucketsRequested

The requested number of discrete time intervals over which data is

 

 

to be saved in the part of the media-specific table associated with

 

 

this entry.

 

 

 

 

BucketsGranted

The number of discrete sampling intervals over which data is saved

 

 

in the part of the media-specific table associated with this entry.

 

 

There are instances when the actual number of buckets associated

 

 

with this entry is less than the value of this object. In this case, at the

 

 

end of each sampling interval, a new bucket is added to the

 

 

media-specific table.

 

 

 

 

Interval

The interval in seconds over which the data is sampled for each

 

 

bucket in the part of the media-specific table associated with this

 

 

entry. You can set this interval to any number of seconds between

 

 

1 and 3600 (1 hour). Because the counters in a bucket may overflow

 

 

at their maximum value with no indication, note the possibility of

 

 

overflow in any of the associated counters. It is important to consider

 

 

the minimum time in which any counter could overflow on a

 

 

particular media type and set the historyControlInterval object to a

 

 

value less than this interval. This is typically most important for the

 

 

'octets' counter in any media-specific table. For example, on an

 

 

Ethernet network, the etherHistoryOctets counter could overflow in

 

 

about one hour at the Ethernet's maximum utilization.

 

 

 

 

Owner

The network management system that created this entry.
