Segment Activity Report 103
Segment Activity
Report
This report contains detailed information on each specified segment. For
the purposes of reporting, it is assumed that each separate segment of
your network is monitored by an agent interface.
Many sites (particularly in a switched environment) have large numbers of
segments and it may be too expensive to instrument all of them with
RMON-2 agents. One option at such sites is to use any existing,
embedded RMON-1 only devices (hubs, switches, routers etc.) to produce
lightweight Segment Activity reports for the otherwise un-instrumented
segments. See
Appendix I , “Using RMON-1 Agents” for more
information.
