Bridging

from the Module View window:

1.Click on the Bridge label just above the port status displays; the Bridge menu will appear.

2.Drag down to Enable Bridge to enable bridging across all interfaces, or to Disable Bridge to disable bridging across all interfaces.

Bridge Statistics

There are three statistics windows available for the 9H42x-xx module: the Statistics window (accessible from both the Module View and Bridge Status view port menus) displays any available RMON-based statistics; the I/F Statistics window (also accessible from the Module View and Bridge Status view port menus) displays MIB-II interface statistics; and the Performance Graphs display statistics related to the bridging function being performed either by an individual interface, or by the device as a whole. The Statistics and I/F Statistics windows are described in Chapter 4; information about Performance Graphs follows.

Performance Graphs

Bridge Performance Graphs provide a color-coded strip chart that shows you the traffic being bridged through all networks or an individual network connected to the selected 9H42x-xx module. You can configure the display to show frames filtered, forwarded, and/or transmitted, as well as the number of errors. The graph has an x axis that indicates the 60 second interval over which charting occurs continuously; the y axis measures the number of packets or errors that are processed by the module as a whole or by one of its bridging interfaces.

You can select the statistics you wish to monitor by using the menu buttons provided; when you change Performance Graph parameters, the graph will refresh and generate a strip chart based on the newly defined parameters.

To access the collective Bridge Performance Graph window:

1.From the Bridge Status window, click on to display the Bridge Status menu.

or

From the Module View window, click on the Bridge label just above the port status display; the Bridge menu will appear.

2.Click to select Performance Graph..., and release. The Bridge Performance Graph window, Figure 5-2, will appear. (The individual port Bridge Performance Graph windows are similar, except that they display a graph applicable to the selected interface.)
