Monitoring and Managing Your ELS100-16TX

ELS100-16TX statistics are divided into four groups:

•System statistics

•Ethernet port statistics

•Trafﬁc analysis statistics

•SNMP statistics

You can use this information to analyze your overall network performance and to make conﬁguration changes as necessary. For example, Ethernet port statistics can help you identify network devices that require high bandwidth, and therefore should be connected through a dedicated, rather than a shared, network connection. In addition, Ethernet port statistics can help you identify a network device that is the source of numerous multicast packets due to a possible malfunction.

4.2.1 Gathering Statistics

For purposes of network management, managed objects must be identiﬁed. Creation of a managed object is achieved by placing its identiﬁer, and a set of management information appropriate to its class, in the Management Information Database (MIB).

Using the MIB variables, you can obtain a detailed analysis of your network by combining statistics for each source network, destination network, and source and destination port. The ELS100-16TX Release Notes contain information on where to ﬁnd the SNMP MIB variables you need to monitor and manage the ELS100-16TX.

4.2.2 System Statistics

For each ELS100-16TX, the following system statistics are available:

• The number of seconds since the ELS100-16TX was last reset.
