Configuring the RMON statistics function

RMON implements the statistics function through the Ethernet statistics group and the history group.

The Ethernet statistics group provides the cumulative statistic for a variable from the time the statistics entry is created to the current time. For more information about the configuration, see "Creating an RMON Ethernet statistics entry."

The history group provides statistics that are sampled for a variable for each sampling interval. The history group uses the history control table to control sampling, and it stores samples in the history table. For more information about the configuration, see "Creating an RMON history control entry."
