Cisco Systems OL-7064-01 manual Send Utilization

Chapter 8 Working with Linksets

Viewing Real-Time Data for a Linkset

Field or Button	Description
Send Utilization	Displays the average Send Utilization % for all links on the linkset as a
Chart	function of time, and optionally the Send Utilization % for up to 16
	individual links on the linkset.
	To see the exact time and data coordinates for a data point, left-click the data
	point. The coordinates are displayed in the format (hh:mm:ss, dd.dd), where:
	• hh:mm:ss is the time for that data point in hours, minutes, and seconds.
	• dd.dd is the send utilization percentage for that data point.
	Note For serial and HSL links on Cisco 7507 and 7513 series routers, the
	displayed utilization data can vary by up to 5% from the actual
	utilization—SGM might even display utilization data above 100%.
	This variance results from the synchronization of Layer 2 counters
	between the Versatile Interface Processor (VIP) CPU and the Route
	Switch Processor (RSP) CPU on 7500 series routers. This variance
	does not occur for links on Cisco 2600, 7200, or 7300 series routers.
	To remove the data for a link or for the average from the chart, click the icon
	in the SLC field. To return the data to the chart, click the icon again.
	The total time displayed in the chart is specified in the Time Window (mins)
	field.
	New data points are added to the right side of the chart. When the chart
	reaches the end of the time window (for example, after 5 minutes, if the Time
	Window (mins) field is set to 5), new data points continue to be added to the
	right side of the chart, while old data points “drop off” the left side of the
	chart.
	If a poll is missed (for example, as a result of an SNMP timeout), SGM
	ignores the missing data point, stops drawing the line, and waits for the next
	valid data point to begin drawing the line again.
	To scroll left, right, up, or down in the chart, drag the cursor while holding
	down Ctrl and the left mouse button.
	To zoom in on a section of the chart, drag the cursor while holding down Shift
	and the left mouse button.
	To reset the chart to the default view and scaling, click Reset.
