The following defines each field on the RMON Statistics screen:
RMON Index (Read-Only)
This field displays the current Ethernet interface for which statistics are
being shown. The 2H28-08R has an embedded RMON agent that gathers
statistics for each interface on the module.
Data Source (Read-Only)
This field displays the source of the statistics data that is currently being
displayed on the screen.
Figure 5-26 shows that the data source for this
RMON index is Interface 1 by displaying the name IfIndex.1. If the
screen was displaying RMON statistics for Interface 4, the name
displayed would be IfIndex.4.
Owner (Read-Only)
This field displays the name of the entity that configured this entry.
Status (Read-Only)
The Status field displays the current operating status of the displayed
interface. This field displays “Valid” or “Invalid”.
Drop Events (Read-Only)
This field displays the total number of times that the RMON agent was
forced to discard frames due to the lack of available switch resources.
Collisions (Read-Only)
This field displays the total number of collisions that have occurred on
this interface.
Broadcast Pkts (Read-Only)
The Broadcast Pkts field displays the total number of good frames that
were directed to the broadcast address. This number does not include
multicast frames.
NOTE
The Drop Events field does not display the number of frames
dropped, it only displays the number of times that the RMON
agent was forced to discard frames.
