Status Monitoring and Statistics
This chapter describes how to view the current operating status of the Switch, how to
display information in the Switch log, and how to take advantage of the RMON
capabilities available in the Switch.
Viewing statistics on a regular basis allows you to see how well your network is
performing. If you keep simple daily records, you will see trends emerging and notice
problems arising before they cause major network faults. This way, statistics can help
you get the best out of your network.
STATUS MONITORING
The status monitoring facility provides information about the Switch. This information
may be useful for your technical support representative if you have a problem.
Table 10-1 describes the show commands available on the Switch.
