Understanding Groups
MWTM allows you to create groups of nodes that can simplify operations. You can create groups using the MWTM web interface and then perform operations against all nodes of a group instead of performing the operation against each node individually. You can also perform searches on groups. For example, you can search for a home agent subscriber on nodes within a specific group.
For provisioning groups, the master node is the first node in the group. The master node is used to determine provisioning commands.

Viewing Statistics
You can use statistics for capacity planning and trend analysis. For example, you can generate graphs, tables, or CSV files:
•For a specified time range to display historical statistics for customer busy-hours.
•To show the maximum send and receive traffic over a specified time period.
•To show data on a 15-minute, daily, or hourly basis.
MWTM provides two types of statistics:
•Real-time statistics—The MWTM provides real-time (not historical) performance statistics and error information occurring in real time. The MWTM client also displays graphs for real-time statistics. You use real-time statistics for troubleshooting active problem areas in your network. See Displaying RAN-O Statistics and Displaying Error Statistics
•Historical reports (statistics). These reports are available on the MWTM web interface only.
These statistics vary by the time frame over which they are collected and stored and for some domains, the statistics gathered vary. For example, real-time SCTP Association Statistic Details describes link-level SCTP statistics collected every 15 seconds. The SCTP historical reports describe device-level SCTP statistics for all of the SCTP links on a specific device over 15 minute, hourly, and daily intervals.
Displaying RAN-O Statistics
You can view real-time performance data for a shorthaul or backhaul interface in the MWTM:
•Web interface by selecting a shorthaul or backhaul interface in the navigation tree and clicking the Shorthaul Performance or Performance tab in the right pane.
•Client interface by right-clicking a shorthaul or backhaul interface in the navigation tree and clicking Performance History. The MWTM client interface provides access to RAN-O real-time performance statistics that you can use to troubleshoot problems that occur in real time. The zoom and navigation features quickly enable isolating and focusing on a problem area.
Note If the CISCO-IP-RAN-BACKHAUL-MIB on the node is not compliant with the MWTM, the MWTM issues the message:
MIB not compliant for reports
