Enabling RMON1 history
About this task
Use RMON1 to establish a history for a port and configure the bucket interval. For example, to
gather RMON statistics over the weekend, you must have enough buckets to cover two days.
Configure the history to gather one bucket every hour, and cover a 48-hour period. After you
configure the history characteristics, you cannot modify them; you must delete the history and create
another one.
Procedure
1. In the navigation tree, expand the following folders: Configuration > Serviceability >
RMON.
2. Click Control.
3. In the History tab, click Insert.
4. In the Port box, click the ellipsis (...) button.
5. Select a port.
6. Click OK.
7. In the Buckets Requested box, type the number of discrete time intervals to save data.
8. In the Interval box, type the interval in seconds.
9. In the Owner box, type the owner information.
10. Click Insert.
History field descriptions
Use the data in the following table to use the History tab.
Name
Description
Enable Enables RMON. If you select the Enable check box, the RMON agent
starts immediately if the amount of memory specified by MemSize is
currently available in the device. To disable RMON, clear the Enable
check box and click Apply to save the new setting to NVRAM, and then
restart the device. The default is disabled.
UtilizationMethod Controls whether RMON uses a half-duplex or full-duplex formula to
calculate port usage. After you select halfDuplex, RMON uses InOctets
and the speed of the port to calculate port usage (this is the standard
RMON RFC1271 convention). After you select fullDuplex, RMON uses
InOctets and OutOctets and 2X the speed of the port to calculate port
usage. If you select fullDuplex, but the port operates in half-duplex
mode, the calculation defaults to the RFC1271 convention. The default is
halfDuplex.
