Configuring the Summary View
To configure the summary view in Device Manager, follow these steps:
- Click the Summary tab on the main display.
- Select a value from the Poll Interval drop-down list.
- Decide how you want your data to be interpreted by looking at the Show Rx/Tx drop-down menu. The table updates each polling interval to show an overview of the receive and transmit data for each active port on the switch.
- Select a value from the Show Rx/Tx drop-down list. If you select Util%, you need to also select values from the two Show Rx/Tx > %Util/sec drop-down lists. The first value is the warning level and the second value is the critical threshold level for event reporting.
Note that you can also display percent utilization for a single port by selecting the port and clicking the Monitor Selected Interface Traffic Util % icon.
The configurable monitor per port option gives statistics for in and out traffic on that port, errors, class 2 traffic and other data that can be graphed over a period of time to give a real-time view into the performance of the port.
To configure per port monitoring using Device Manager, follow these steps:
- Click the Device tab.
- Right-click the port you are interested in and choose Monitor from the drop-down menu.
- Select a value from the Interval drop-down list to determine how often data is updated in the table shown here.
- Click a statistical value in the table then click one of the graphing icons to display a running graph of that statistic over time. You see a graph window that contains options to change the graph type.
Tip You can open multiple graphs for statistics on any of the active ports on the switch.
