Capacity Report The capacity report allows you to gauge how many available ports you have on your network. It lists the following details for each device:

■IP address

■Device type

■Total ports on the device

■Ports available (unused) on the device

This report provides information on all devices for which 3Com Network Director has port information. To gather this port information, the device needs to support SNMP.

At the bottom of the Ports available column is a summary listing the number of free ports across the device selection and a percentage of how many ports are available of the total ports present.

This report is launched from the Reports dialog box and is selection-sensitive.

Topology Report You can see all links showing each device-to-device connection in your network using the topology report. This report lists the following details for the devices at each of the physical link ends:

■IP address

■Device type

■Unit number

■Port number

This report is launched from the Reports dialog box, and is selection-sensitive.

Free ports Report This report is accessible when a high utilization event occurs (this happens when utilization on a link exceeds the threshold limit). When examining the high utilization event one of the remedies suggested (accessed via the More Detail dialog box) is to move the device to a switch that supports a higher link speed and/or full duplex mode. To launch the free ports report click on the hyperlink included in the text.

The free ports report lists the number of free ports on each device in the current map that are capable of speeds above a certain value.
