10. Setting Up Network Health for FrameSaver Device

About Trend Reports

By specifying specific variables like bandwidth, trend analysis can be performed and shown on Trend Reports. Up to ten variables for a DLCI, or ten DLCIs on one variable can be generated on a single trend report. Information can be presented in a line graph, pie chart, bar chart, or table format. Any amount of time can be specified for the reporting period.

These reports can help identify the reasons a DLCI has acquired a poor Health Index rating. See the Exceptions Report for information about Health Index ratings.

Printed Reports

All of the charts and tables seen online can also be provided on printed reports.

Reports Applicable to FrameSaver Devices

The following frame relay reports support FrameSaver devices:

￿

￿

Exception Reports – Provide summary and detail information that identifies DLCIs with the highest incidence of errors, high bandwidth utilization, and trends.

These reports identify those DLCIs that have exceeded a specified number of accumulated exception points. It is a good idea to run this report daily so that DLCIs having the most problems can be attended to first. DLCIs contained on this report need immediate attention.

If a DLCI suddenly shows up on these reports, check whether any new equipment has been added to the network and whether it is properly configured. If its configuration is correct, the equipment could be faulty.

Summary Reports – Provide summary information for the network, volume and error leaders, and DLCI traffic.

Network Summary Report – Provides an overall view of the network. Use this report for planning and to predict when a DLCI might run into problems.

Leaders Summary Report – Identifies DLCIs having the highest volume and errors. High traffic volume may be increasing latency, and the high Health Index rating indicates problems. It is a good idea to run these reports daily so a norm can be established. The same DLCIs should appear.

Use this chart and table to alert you to possible problems. Problems to look for include: a normally high-volume DLCI is dropped from the list, a new DLCI appears on the list (check Element Summaries), a DLCI has a high Health Index rating, but low volume, significant differences between a DLCI’s average and peak Health Index rating.
