3.Select Performance Graph. The board-level Performance Graph window will appear.

To access the port-level Performance Graph windows:

1.Click on the appropriate Port in the Device View display; the port menu will appear.

2.Select Performance Graph. The port-level Performance Graph window will appear.

The Board and Port Performance Graph windows are similar to the Repeater Performance Graph window displayed in Figure 5-4, except that they display statistics applicable to the board or port level.

For each chosen statistic, Performance Graphs display both average and peak activity, as well as the date and time the peak values were recorded; average values are also displayed graphically.

NOTE

In accordance with Year 2000 compliance requirements, NetSight Element Manager now displays and allows you to set all dates with four-digit year values.

The Average statistics are updated every two seconds, as averaged over the previous four two-second intervals; the graphical display also updates at two-second intervals. For the first 60 seconds of graphing, you will note the graph lines extending as each interval’s data is added to the graph. Once the first 60 seconds has passed, the newest data is added at the right edge of the graph, and the oldest data is scrolled off to the left.

Each Performance Graph window allows you to graph the following statistical variables:

Percent Load (Green)
Percent Load	Reflects the network load generated by the selected repeater,
	board, or port, compared to the theoretical maximum load (10
	Mbits/s) of an Ethernet network.
Active Users	The number of users transmitting or receiving on the selected
	repeater, board, or port, as determined by the current number
	of Ethernet (MAC) addresses stored in each port’s Source
	Address Table.
Nothing	The Percent Load function is not currently measuring any
	statistics.
