Viewing Port Utilization
Port utilization measures the amount of traffic passing through a port over a period of time. For example, if an initiator is transmitting data to a target, the initiator port displays a port utilization value (%) while the target port does not. If the same initiator is receiving data from the target, the target port displays a port utilization value (%) while the initiator port displays does not.
The Port Utilization page displays each port’s utilization percentage based on high, average, and low utilization.
Value | Description |
|
|
High | The highest percentage of data communication through a port over a period of |
| time (measured in seconds). |
|
|
Average | The average percentage of data communication through a port over a period |
| of time (measured in seconds). |
|
|
Low | The lowest percentage of data communication through a port over a period of |
| time (measured in seconds). |
