Traffic Graph in the Switch Statistics Window

Switch Statistics

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, then the graphs will display the last data received until communications are restored.

Traffic Graph in the Switch Statistics Window

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.

For more information about available traffic variables, refer to the table below.

Table 3-3. Traffic Variables in Switch Statistics

Variable	Description

Errors Filtered Out By	Error packets reaching the switch.
Switch

Good Bcasts/Mcasts	Good non-unicast packets traveling into the switch.
Into Switch

Good Pkts In	Good packets traveling into the switch.

Good Unicasts Pkts In	Good unicast packets traveling into the switch.

In Bandwidth (Kbits)	Total number of Kilobits entering the device.

Total Pkts In	Total packets traveling into the switch.

SMON continuously monitors statistics for all available Switch Statistics traffic variables, even those that are not currently selected. For information on finding the 5 highest peaks of traffic, refer to Appendix A, Using the Find Top5 Peaks Dialog Box.

The X axis of the graph represents time. The scale on the X axis can be changed using the Samples Per Screen field in the Switch Options dialog box. For more information, refer to Appendix A, Using the General Options Dialog Box.

The units of the Y axis for all variables are packets. The scale on the Y axis depends on the maximum value among all of the variables. If the spread of values is wide, the graphs of variables with small values may not be visible. In this case, use the logarithmic traffic display to produce better results (refer to Appendix A, Logarithmic Display).

Events Overview Alarms and Events OverviewThe first Event is a Rising Event, caused by the counter rate rising above the Rising Threshold. The second Event is a Falling Event, caused by the counter rate falling below the Falling Threshold. The third Event is a Rising Event. Note, that although the rate falls below the Rising Threshold and then rises above it again, no Event is generated. A new Rising Event can only be generated after the rate falls below the Falling Threshold. Similarly, after the fourth Event, although the rate rises above the Falling Threshold and then falls below it again, no Event is generated. A new Falling Event can only be generated after the rate rises above the Rising Threshold 2 Device SMON Accessing Device SMONFigure 2-1.

Traffic Variables in Switch Statistics Traffic Graph in the Switch Statistics WindowComparing the traffic graphs to the meters can often point you in the right direction for locating a problem. For example, the pie chart may show an abnormal amount of non-unicast packets, while the bandwidth usage shown in the traffic graph has increased significantly. This may suggest that one of the stations attached to the switch is generating the non-unicast packets. By using VLAN Statistics you can locate the VLAN where the problem originates. By using Port Statistics you can locate the port to which the suspected station is attached 4 Port Statistics Using Port StatisticsSelecting Ports to Display Figure 4-1.
