RMON Statistics
RMON Statistics display key statistics for each port from RMON group 1.
(RMON groups 2, 3 and 9 can only be accessed using SNMP
management software.) The following screen displays overall statistics on
traffic passing through each port. RMON statistics provide access to a
broad range of statistics, including a total count of different frame types
passing through each port. Values displayed have been accumulated
since the last system reboot.
