Enterasys Networks 6000 - Manual (Page 130)

RMON Statistics 3-5
Statistics
The percentages displayed to the right of the numerical values for these fields indicate
what percentage of all packets transmitted on the network segment were of the noted size.
Unless the network segment has experienced a significant number of runts and/or giants
(which are not counted in this group), these percentages will add up to 100. The pie chart
in the center of the window provides a graphical view of the percentage breakdown; colors
in the pie chart correspond to colors in the percentage display boxes. Values listed to the
right of the pie chart indicate peak delta values recorded since the statistics screen was
launched, and the date and time they occurred.
Viewing Total, Delta, and Accumulated Statistics
By using the Total, Delta, and Accum option buttons located at the bottom of each
Statistics window, you can choose whether to view the total statistics count (since the last
time the device was initialized), the statistics count during the last polling interval, or a
fresh accumulation of statistics begun when the Accum button was selected.
To choose Total, Delta, or Accum:
1. Click on the Total option button; after the completion of the current polling
cycle plus one complete polling cycle, the screen will display the total count of
statistics processed since the entry was created or since the device was last
initialized, whichever is most recent. These totals are updated after each
polling cycle.
2. Click on the Delta option button; after the completion of the current polling
cycle plus two more polling cycles, the screen will display the count of
statistics processed during the last polling interval. These counts will be
refreshed after each polling cycle.
3. Click on the Accum option button; after the completion of the current polling
cycle plus two more polling cycles, the screen will display a fresh cumulative
count of statistics. Note that making this selection does
not clear device
counters; you can still re-select Total for the total count since the device was
last initialized.
Note that switching the statistics displays among Total, Delta, and Accum does not effect
the displayed peak values, as peak values are always Delta values.
TIP
The statistics windows use the polling interval you have set for the monitored device via
the Device Management page of the Options window. See your Element Manager User’s
Guide for more information on setting the Chassis Manager polling interval.
NOTE
If you reset your device, you must first close, then re-open the Statistics window to refresh
peak values.
