Configuring the RMON History Control Table
Use the RMON Add/Modify History Control Table Row window to configure the
RMON history feature so that you can collect historical data for an interface.
To configure the RMON history feature, you supply information that
identifies the table row you are creating in the history data table, the interface you
want to monitor, the owner of that information, the number of rows of history data you
want to collect, and the interval at which data collection should occur.
For general information about the RMON history feature, see About RMON History and Statistics.
