3-1Chapter 3StatisticsAccessing interface statistics from the Chassis View; available statistics windowsSelecting the Statistics option from the port interface displays in the chassis viewwill launch the highest level of statistics available for the selected interface: if theinterface supports RMON, the appropriate RMON Ethernet statistics will display;if RMON is not supported by the interface — or if the RMON Default MIBcomponent is inactive — MIB-II interface (IF) statistics will display.Accessing the Statistics WindowTo access the available statistics for each interface:1. In the Chassis View window, click on the appropriate port interface to displaythe Port menu.2. Drag down to Statistics, and release. The RMON Statistics (Figure 3-1,page 3-2) or MIB-II IF Statistics window (Figure 3-3, page 3-7), asappropriate, will appear.TIPSince the SmartSwitch 7000 does provide RMON support, selecting the Statistics optionfor any Ethernet or Fast Ethernet interface will launch the appropriate RMON statistics(as long as the RMON MIB component is enabled). For FDDI and ATM interfaces —which do not specifically support RMON stats — the MIB-II interface statistics willdisplay.Note, too, that the MIB-II IF Statistics window is also available for all port interfaces —regardless of their level of RMON support or the current administrative status of theRMON Default MIB component — via the I/F Summary window (described inChapter 2) or the bridge port menus in the Bridge Status view (described in the BridgingChapter in the Tools Guide).
