Using Monitor

You can monitor statistics in real time from the EDS-728’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-728’s ports. Click on one of the four options—All 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-728, RX Packets are packets received from connected devices, and
Error Packets are packets that did not pass TCP/IP’s error checking algorithm. The All Packets
option displays a graph that combines TX, RX, and Error Packet activity. The four graphs (All
Packets, TX Packets, RX Packets, and Error Packets) have the same form, so we only show the All
Packets graph. 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.

Monitor by Port

Access the Monitor by Port function by selecting

ALL Ports

or

Porti

, in which

i= 1, 2, …, 8

,

from the left pull-down list. The

Porti

options are identical to the Monitor by System function

discussed above, in that users can view graphs that show All Packets, TX Packets, RX Packets, or
Error Packets activity, but in this case, only for an individual port.

The

All Ports

option is

essentially a graphical display of the individual port activity that can be viewed with the Console
Monitor function discussed above. The All Ports option shows three vertical bars for each port.
The height of the bar represents

Packets/s

for the type of packet, at the instant the bar is being

viewed. That is, as time progresses, the height of the bar moves up or down so that the user can
view the change in the rate of packet transmission. The red colored bar shows

Uni-cast

packets,

the green colored bar shows

Multi-cast

packets, and the blue colored bar shows

Broad-cast

packets. The graph is updated every few seconds, allowing the user to analyze data transmission
activity in real-time.
