Icons and Icon Components
This chapter describes the RMON models and discusses how you can use the icons (the RMONApp
icon, the RMON Ethernet probe icon, and the RMON Token Ring probe icon) to obtain network
performance data.
The RMONApp Icon
The RMONApp icon ( Figure 4-1) serves as a central gathering point for
network device information and allows you to easily access data collected from
multiple interfaces on the device. Each RMONApp icon represents a
composite of the information gathered by all of the Ethernet or Token Ring
probes that belong to its model. The icon features three labels that provide
quick access to detailed information about the model. To access the
information, double click on the label, using the left mouse button. (You can
also access this same information through the Icon Subviews menu.)
