tabular form.
Figure 5-1. Ethernet Statistics Table
The RMON Statistics group consists of 17 parameters measured at the
monitored network interface (data source) of the device. These statistics take
the form of free running counters that start from zero when a valid instance is
created. The Ethernet Statistics Table presents 13 of these parameters (briefly
described below) but does not include detailed size distribution, which is
presented in the Statistics Detail View described later in this section.
• Data Source—The interface being monitored.
• Octets—Total octets received.
• Packets—Total packets received.
• Broadcasts—Good packets received that were directed to a broadcast
address.
• Multicasts—Good packets received that were directed to a multicast
address.
• Owner—The person who configured the entry.
• CRC/Align—Total packets received that had a length of between 64 and
1518 octets, but were not an integral number of octets in length or had a
bad FCS.
• Collisions—Best estimate of total number of collisions on this segment.
