Cabletron Systems EMM-E6 manual Port Display Form

Using the EMM-E6 Hub View

Figure 2-6. The EMM-E6’s Device, Network, Module, and Port Menus

Hub performance data available through these menus includes:

•Device, Network, Module, and Port status descriptions.

•Network, Module, and Port statistics, which provide a complete breakdown of packet activity.

•Network-, Module-, and Port-level pie charts, graphs, and meters, for a graphic representation of the types and levels of traffic passing through the hub. (For more information about pie charts, graphs, and meters, see the Charts, Graphs, and Meters chapter in the SPMA Tools Guide.)

NOTE

Graphing capabilities are provided by an application that is included in HP Network Node Manager and IBM NetView; therefore, graphs are only available when SPMA is run in conjunction with one of these network management platforms. If you are running SPMA in a stand-alone mode or in conjunction with SunNet Manager or Solstice Enterprise Manager, no graphing capabilities are available and no graph-related options will be displayed on buttons or menus. Note that the screens displayed in this guide will include the graph-related options where they are available; please disregard these references if they do not apply.

Port Display Form

You can change the type of information displayed for each port in the hub by using the Port Display Form option on the Device, Network, and Module menus.
