Alarms and Events Overview
Figure 1-1. Events Overview
The 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

Traffic Graph in the Switch Statistics Window
Table 3-3. Traffic Variables in Switch Statistics
Comparing 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
