Part 1 Introduction: rational for performance measurements - observing network errors, SLA verification; components to monitor - CPU, memory, port activity on serial and LAN ports. Part 2 LAN and WAN metrics: Ethernet - access method, frame composition, error conditions; Token Ring - frame composition; SMMP - management stations, MIBs, Agents, the global naming tree (OID). Part 3 Accessing Cisco performance measurements: router - via commands as well as SNMP MIB data; switch - via commands as well as SNMP MIB data. Part 4 Using router performance related commands: statistics on serial ports; statistics on LAN ports; CPU statistics; memory statistics; monitoring example. Part 5 Using switch performance related commands: statistics on Serial ports; statistics on LAN ports; CPU statistics; memory statistics.
