Viewing Statistics
You can view statistics about FDDI network utilization and statistics about
the FDDI and Fast Ethernet ports. Information presented in these screens
helps you determine the overall network demands on the FDDI ring, the
load on the FDDI ring generated by the bridge, and the load on the Ethernet
segment. The values reported in these screens represent the accumulated
count since the bridge was turned on or reset.
Network Utilization
In the context of network utilization, think of an FDDI network as having
the potential to carry more information rather than as being a faster
connection. If the applications running over the network do not use the
available bandwidth efficiently, you will not see much improvement in the
performance of your network by using FDDI. You can judge the degree of
network utilization by viewing FDDI ring utilization and packet translation
counters. To do this:
1.
From the Main menu, select
Statistics
.
2.
Select
FDDI Network Utilization
from the Statistics menu. The
Network Utilization screen appears.
