1. Click Add to display the Add box.
2. It is sufficient to click OK/ Cancel (as appropriate) or edit any of the three fields
displayed:
♦ Index (1..65535) – This value is randomly generated upon opening the Add
box. The value uniquely identifies this entry. Other than numerical position in
the Control Table, there is no benefit or disadvantage in choosing a specific
index value.
♦ Data Source ifIndex – This entry identifies the source of the data that this
etherStats entry is configured to analyze. This source can be any Ethernet
interface on the device.
♦ Owner – This entry is the entity that initiated the entry and is using the
resources assigned to it. Other functions of the Control Table are as follows:
♦ Modify – To modify an existing entry, click the entry to highlight it, and click
Modify Data Source and Owner can be modified as desired.
♦ Delete – To delete an entry, click the entry to highlight it, and click Delete to
remove it.
♦ View – If more than one entry exists in the Control Table, it will be necessary to
use the View function, because only one entry's statistics may be viewed at any
time. To view an entry, click the entry to highlight, and click View – if View is
not active, then that entry is currently set for view.
♦ Refresh – The Refresh function rewrites the Control Table.
Statistics Table Tab
The Statistics Table is a collection of statistics kept for a particular Ethernet interface.
It consists of 17 statistic counters under 4 categories: Absolute, Delta, Peak, and Rate.
♦ Absolute – The current count since the initiation of the data source or last
reset, at which the counter begins at zero.
♦ Delta – This is the number of frames counted for a particular datum since the
last polling.
♦ Peak – This is the largest Delta value since creation of the table or last reset.
♦ Rate(Pkt/Sec) – This is the Delta value divided by the polling interval – Rate =
(P/t)
The different statistics and data are described below:
♦ Owner – The entity that configured this entry and is therefore using the
resources assigned to it.
♦ Index – The value uniquely identifies this etherStats entry.
