16CHAPTER 2: USING NETWORK SUPERVISOR TO MANAGE YOUR NETWORK

The significant advantage of having a yellow (warning) zone is that it gives you a clear indication that a monitor is approaching a serious condition. This may allow you to predict some network problems before they become critical.

For example, a half-lit green bar indicates that you should have considerable scope before that device requires attention, while a fully-lit red bar shows that something is seriously wrong with the performance of that device and that it probably needs urgent attention.

A monitor is a measure of the stress being experienced by a network device or link.
