Token Ring Statistics

Using Statistics window features; monitoring ring-level statistics, timer statistics, and performance graphs; monitoring management station statistics; monitoring port-level statistics, timer statistics, and performance graphs

NetSight Element Manager provides valuable performance statistics from the Network, Management Station, and Port levels. The statistics windows include ring status information, beacon statistics, error counts, timer statistics, frame size and protocol statistics, and performance graphs.

Statistics Window Features

Many of the token ring statistics windows allow you to measure and view statistics according to different scales, and set a time interval after which statistics are automatically updated. The following sections detail these features.

Setting Total, Delta, or Cumulative Counts

By using the radio buttons located at the bottom of the Network, TR Management Station, and Station (Port) Statistics windows, you can change the time period during which the statistics shown in the window are collected. An example of this group of radio buttons is shown in Figure 3-1.
