Configuring an Ethernet Data Collection Module
117341-A Rev. A 6-21
Example
You specify a buffer size of 32 KB and a packet slice size of 1 KB. After checking
the available memory, the RMON agent allocates the buffer size you requested.
The buffer can hold a maximum of 32,768 / (1024 + 20), or 31, packets.
Alarm and Event Groups
You configure the Alarm and Event groups as a pair. The pair requires
approximately 750 bytes of memory.
For each occurrence of an event, the logTable uses approximately 150 bytes. You
can store a maximum of 100 entries in each RMON event log.
Since the RMON event log is a read-only table, you access it using the eventIndex
MIB attribute.
Note: The RMON agent allocates the full amount of memory you specify for
each packet, even if the packet is smaller. Bay Networks recommends that you
set the packet slice size to the smallest value possible. The maximum packet
slice size is 2 KB.
Note: To reduce the log size, limit the size of event descriptions.
