SMON Overview

TopN filtering is powerful in that it allows you to focus on the information that is important to you.

Device SMON Tools

The Device SMON tools for Avaya P120 Devices include:

•Switch Statistics - Detailed information on traffic passing through the switch fabric.

•VLAN Statistics - Detailed information on switch traffic associated with a VLAN.

•Port Statistics - Detailed information on port traffic to help determine the precise cause of a problem.

•Alarms and Events - Notification of user defined Events that help monitor a rise or fall of the rate of specified packets on selected ports.

Switch Statistics Overview

The Switch Statistics tool provides details of the traffic passing through the switch fabric and allows you to detect problems on the switch. Once a problem has been detected, you can use VLAN or Port Statistics to determine more precisely the cause of the problem.

The display includes two sections:

•Pie charts and gauges showing traffic breakdown.

•A traffic graph that describes the characteristics of the traffic passing through the device.

You can use the Switch Statistics tool for the following purposes:

•Gaining an overall view of the switched traffic over a specific time period. This can help in discovering problems and analyzing traffic trends.

•Discovering whether the device is being utilized efficiently or not.

•Monitoring the load distribution among VLANs.

•Detecting a large number of broadcast messages sent. This indicates there may be a problem with a station on the network.
