The statistics are in the form of counters that start from zero when a valid entry is created. The statistics group provides useful information about the load on a sub-network and the overall health of the sub-network. Since various error conditions are counted, such as CRC alignment errors, collisions, and undersized and oversized packets.
1. Conduct a research on the etherStats Table, which collects a variety of counts for each attached sub-network, including byte, packet, error, and frame size counts.
2. Choose ten different counters found in this table and discuss in detail how this information would help a network administrator diagnose potential issues in the network.
3. Give examples of how one would make modifications, based on the information found in the etherStats Table.
- Analyzed and explained ten different counters from etherStats Table.
- Analyzed and described the information stored for the ten different counters.
- Explained how the information would be used to optimize network.
- Provided examples of how to change network, based on information gathered and analyzed from etherStatsTable.
- Analyzed the counter information in the etherStatsTable in the dropbox message box.
