Chapter 13
Status Monitoring and Statistics
This chapter describes how to view the current operating status of
the switch, how to display information in the log, and how to take
advantage of available Remote Monitoring (RMON) capabilities.
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. The switch software includes
many show commands that display information about different
switch functions and facilities.
Note
For more information about show commands for a specific software
feature, refer to the appropriate chapter in this guide.
