9E312/9E423 Module Bridging

Performance Graphs
You use the Bridge Performance Graphs to view a color-coded strip chart that
shows you the traffic being bridged through all networks or an individual
network supported by your device. You can configure the display to show bridge
traffic (frames filtered, forwarded, or transmitted) — as well as the number of
errors — experienced at the module level or at the interface level. Both the Bridge
and Bridge Port graphs have an X axis that indicates the 60 second interval over
which charting occurs continuously, while their Y axis measures the number of
packets or errors that are processed by the 9E312/9E423 Module or its interfaces
during bridging.
To access the device-level Bridge Performance Graph window:
1. From the Bridge Status window, click on . A pull-down menu will

Performance Graph window, Figure 3-2, will appear. (The individual Bridge
Port Performance Graph windows are similar, except that they display a graph
applicable to the selected interface.)
