HostTopN Group
To save memory and increase performance, there is no default configuration for
the HostTopN group. You must create HostTopN configurations through your
RMON network management application. You can create as many HostTopN
configurations as memory permits, up to the RMON limit of 65,535
configurations.
Each HostTopN configuration requires 164 bytes. The HostTopN data requires 10
bytes of memory per host address that the Ethernet DCM detects on a segment.
You calculate the total memory (in bytes) you need for the HostTopN data as
follows:
10 * value of the RMON Max Host parameter
For information about setting the RMON Max Host parameter, see “Modifying
Default RMON MIB Group Parameters” on page 4-7.
Matrix Group
When you enable the Ethernet DCM, the default setting for the RMON Default
Matrix parameter is Disable. To create a matrix configuration, set the RMON
Default Matrix parameter to Enable (see “Modifying Default RMON MIB Group
Parameters” on page 4-7).
Some RMON network management applications expect the DCM to set up a
matrix configuration, but others set up their own configurations.
The matrix configuration requires 212 bytes. The matrix data requires
approximately 178 bytes of memory per source/destination pair that the Ethernet
DCM detects on a segment.
Note:
Before you create a HostTopN configuration, you must create a host
configuration.
Note:
The RMON agent allows you to create only one matrix configuration.
Make sure to set the RMON Default Matrix parameter according to the
expectations of the RMON network management application.
