SMON Overview

By comparing the load of each VLAN you can discover which VLANs are:

•Utilizing their full capacity.

•Under capacity.

•Over-extended and probably causing a degradation in performance to the users.

VLAN Statistics represents the information as a horizontal bar chart. Using this tool in conjunction with Port Statistics and Switch Statistics makes it straightforward to discover the cause of a problem. For example, using VLAN Statistics you may discover that there are too many broadcast errors on a specific VLAN. You could then use Port Statistics to help indicate the port from which the problem originates. For more information on using the VLAN Statistics tool, refer to Chapter 6, Using VLAN Statistics.

Alarms and Events Overview

The Alarms and Events tool reports when a specified counter on selected ports, or on a device, cross user defined thresholds. The Alarm Wizard provides a simple method for defining upper and lower thresholds of a counter on selected ports or on the device. This definition of the thresholds is an Alarm.

An event is the crossing of a defined threshold in the direction it was defined. For example, a Rising Event is when the rate of a specified counter on a selected port rises above the defined Rising (upper) Threshold. A Falling Event is when the rate of a specified counter on a selected port falls below the defined Falling (lower) Threshold.
