Avaya C460 SMON manual Viewing the Switch Statistics Traffic Graph

Using Switch Statistics

The pie charts at the top of the window display the following information:

Table 3-2. Pie Chart Variables in Switch Statistics

Variable	Description
Unicasts in	Displays the percentage of unicast packets entering the
	device. On most networks, the unicast packets should
	constitute the vast majority of the pie graph. If non-unicast
	packets begin to increase, this indicates there may be a
	problem.
Bdcsts in	Displays the percentage of broadcast packets entering the
	device.
Mcsts in	Displays the percentage of multicast packets entering the
	device.
Priority x	Displays the percentage of packets of priority x entering the
Packets	device, where x has a value from 0 to 7.

SMON updates these gauges and pie charts in real-time according to the specified sampling interval. By viewing the relationships among these two variables, you can learn a lot about the general behavior of the switch.

*Note: If contact with the device is lost, the graphs will display the last data received until communications are restored.

Viewing the Switch Statistics Traffic Graph

The lower portion of the Switch Statistics window is a traffic graph. The traffic graph displays selected variables as a line graph, in real-time. To select the color coded variables you want graphed, use the check boxes under the traffic graph.

The following table provides a list of the available traffic variables and their descriptions.
