The IRM2 Chassis View

The I/F Summary window provides a variety of descriptive information about each interface on your device, as well as statistics which display each interface’s performance.

The following descriptive information is provided for each interface:

UpTime

The UpTime field lists the amount of time, in a days, hh:mm:ss format, that the device has been running since the last start-up.

Index

The index value assigned to each interface on the device.

Type

The type of the interface, distinguished by the physical/link protocol(s) running immediately below the network layer.

Description

A text description of the interface

Physical Status

Displays the current physical status — or operational state — of the interface: Online or Offline.

Logical Status

Displays the current logical status — or administrative state — of the interface: Up or Down.

Interface Performance Statistics/Bar Graphs

The statistical values (and, where available, the accompanying bar graphs) to the right of the interface description fields provide a quick summary of interface performance. You can select the statistical value you want to display and the units in which you want those values displayed by using the two menu fields directly above the interface display area, as follows:

1.In the right-most menu field, click on the down arrow and select the unit in which you wish to display the selected statistic: Load, Raw Counts, or Rate.

NOTE

Bar graphs are only available when Load is the selected base unit; if you select Raw Counts or Rate, the Bar Graph column will be removed from the interface display.

2.Once you have selected the base unit, click on the down arrow in the left-most field to specify the statistic you’d like to display. Note that the options available from this menu will vary depending on the base unit you have selected.
