Performance Monitoring for Ethernet Cards

11.6.1.2 CE-100T-8, CE-MR-6, and ML-100T-8 Card Ether Ports Utilization Window

The Ether Ports Utilization window shows the percentage of Tx and Rx line bandwidth used by the Ethernet ports during consecutive time segments. The Ether Ports Utilization window provides an Interval drop-down list that enables you to set time intervals of 1 minute, 15 minutes, 1 hour, and 1 day. Line utilization for Ethernet ports is calculated with the following formulas:

Rx = (inOctets + inPkts * 20) * 8 / 100% interval * maxBaseRate

Tx = (outOctets + outPkts * 20) * 8 / 100% interval * maxBaseRate

The interval is defined in seconds. The maxBaseRate is defined by raw bits per second in one direction for the Ethernet port (that is, 1 Gbps). The maxBaseRate for CE-100T-8, CE-MR-6, and ML-100T-8 Ethernet cards is shown in Table 11-7.

Note Line utilization numbers express the average of ingress and egress traffic as a percentage of capacity.

11.6.1.3 CE-100T-8, CE-MR-6, and ML-100T-8 Card Ether Ports History Window

The Ether Ports History window lists past Ethernet statistics for the previous time intervals. Depending on the selected time interval, the Ether Ports History window displays the statistics for each port for the number of previous time intervals as shown in Table 11-8. The parameters are defined in Table 11-6 on page 11-20.

11.6.1.4 CE-100T-8, CE-MR-6, and ML-100T-8 Card POS Ports Statistics Parameters

In the CE-100T-8, CE-MR-6, and ML-100T-8 POS Ports window, the parameters that appear depend on the framing mode employed by the cards. The two framing modes for the packet-over-SDH (POS) port on the CE-100T-8, CE-MR-6, and ML-100T-8 cards are high-level data link control (HDLC) and frame-mapped generic framing procedure (GFP-F). For more information on provisioning a framing mode, refer to Cisco ONS 15310-MA SDH Procedure Guide.

The POS Ports statistics window lists POS parameters at the line level.

15310-MA specifications

Cisco Systems has established itself as a leader in the networking domain, offering a wide array of solutions to meet the needs of modern businesses. Among its impressive product lineup are the Cisco 15310-CL and 15310-MA routers, designed to provide advanced network performance and reliability.

The Cisco 15310-CL is a versatile platform that primarily serves as a carrier-class router aimed at supporting high-speed data and voice services. It is built to handle the demands of large enterprises and service providers, offering a robust design that ensures maximum uptime and performance. One of its standout features is its modular architecture, which enables users to customize their configurations based on specific application needs. This scalability allows for future expansion without the need for a complete hardware overhaul.

Key technologies integrated into the Cisco 15310-CL include high-density Ethernet interfaces and a comprehensive suite of Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocol support. The device is capable of supporting multiple types of connections, including TDM, ATM, and Ethernet. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for organizations that require seamless migration between various service types. Moreover, with features such as MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) support and advanced Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, the router ensures that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and low latency required for optimal performance.

In contrast, the Cisco 15310-MA focuses on access solutions, providing a cost-effective entry point for businesses looking to enhance their network capabilities. It is well-suited for smaller offices or branch locations that need reliable connectivity without the expense and complexity associated with larger systems. The device supports a range of access methods and provides essential features like firewall capabilities, VPN support, and comprehensive security measures to protect sensitive data.

Both models benefit from Cisco's commitment to security and manageability, offering features like enhanced encryption protocols and user authentication mechanisms that help safeguard networks against threats. Additionally, they can be managed through Cisco’s intuitive software tools, simplifying configuration and monitoring tasks for IT administrators.

The Cisco 15310-CL and 15310-MA are ideal solutions for businesses seeking to enhance their network infrastructure, ensuring firms can keep pace with evolving technology demands while maintaining a focus on security and performance. Their combination of advanced features, modular capabilities, and robust support makes them valuable assets in the networking landscape.
