3.5.1.3 MIB Variables Associated With Port Mirroring

3.5.2 Showing Port Statistics

Youcan display standard statistics on network traffic from the Interfaces Group and

Ethernet-like MIBs, as well as a detailed breakdown of traffic based on the RMON

MIB. Interfaces and Ethernet-like statistics display errors on the traffic passing

through each port. This information can be used to identify potential problems with

the switch (such as a faulty port or unusually heavy loading). RMON statistics

provide access to a broad range of statistics, including a total count of different

frame types and sizes passing through each port. All values displayed have been

accumulated since the last system reboot, and are shown as counts per second.

Statistics are refreshed every 20 seconds by default.
