rmonSamplingEnabled

This object affects the way the RMON probe uses statistical
sampling to collect packets from the indicated interface.
              
If this object has the value 'false', then the probe
will attempt to monitor all packets detected on the 
indicated interface, in the event any RMON collections are
actually configured.  The data returned in all RMON collection
tables associated with this interface will represent 
non-sampled monitored counter values. 
              
If this object has the value 'true', then the 
probe will use adaptive statistical sampling techniques to 
monitor the indicated interface, in the event any RMON 
collections are actually configured.  The data returned
in RMON collection tables associated with this interface
may be based on statistical approximations. In this mode, the 
RMON agent will also maintain additional MIB objects to provide
the confidence interval information for each sampled counter. 
These objects can be found in the CISCO-RMON-SAMPLING-MIB.
              
When this object transitions from 'false' to 'true', 
all active packet capture functions will be suspended,
without affecting the contents of any associated 
filterEntry, filter2Entry, channelEntry, channel2Entry,
bufferControlEntry, captureBufferEntry, or
captureBufferHighCapacityEntry. Only the low-level packet 
capture processing is deactivated.
              
When this object transitions from 'true' to 'false',
all suspended packet capture functions associated
with the interface will be reactivated. 
              
Note that an NMS application which is unaware of this MIB 
object will not be able to detect suspended packet capture 
operations or sampled collections, however multi-manager 
mis-configuration issues are beyond the scope of this MIB. 
The packet capture function Get and Set operations are
not affected by this object.
              
If an interface cannot be sampled, or the sampling 
configuration cannot be modified, then such an instance
of this object will be implemented with read-only access.
