Setting a Custom PeriodYou can format the graph to provide data within a custom time period. This feature can be extremely useful for pinpointing performance changes. For example, assumed you changed the firmware of a switch two weeks ago and you want to compare the performance of that switch before and after you changed its firmware. You could create a graph that provides performance data two weeks before you changed the firmware. You could then create another graph that provides performance data two weeks after you changed the firmware.
IMPORTANT: If you change the date in the field to a date that does not exist in a month, the software automatically calculates the date to the next month. For example, if you enter 2003/11/31, the software assumes the date is 2003/12/01.
To set a custom period:
1.Access Performance Manager as described in ”Accessing Performance Manager” on page 492.
2.Click the element for which you want to see its performance.
