LLDP Table
Port:

Using the Monitor
You can monitor statistics in real time from the EDS’s web console and serial console.
Monitor by Switch
Access the Monitor by selecting
System
from the left selection bar. Monitor by System allows the
user to view a graph that shows the combined data transmission activity of all of the EDS’s ports.
Click on one of the four options—Total Packets, TX Packets, RX Packets, or Error Packets—to
view transmission activity of specific types of packets. Recall that TX Packets are packets sent out
from the EDS, RX Packets are packets received from connected devices, and Error Packets are
packets that did not pass TCP/IP’s error checking algorithm. The Total Packets option displays a
graph that combines TX, RX, and Error Packet activity. The four graphs (Total Packets, TX
Packets, RX Packets, and Error Packets) have the same form, so we show only the Total Packets
graph here. The graph displays data transmission activity by showing
Packets/s
(i.e., packets per
second, or pps) versus
sec.
(seconds). In fact, three curves are displayed on the same graph:
Uni-cast
packets (in red color),
Multi-cast
packets (in green color), and
Broad-cast
packets (in
blue color). The graph is updated every few seconds, allowing the user to analyze data
transmission activity in real-time.
