CrossFire 8730 Switch Reference Guide, DOC-7047 v. 1.1 Monitoring the Network from the Statistics Menu
4. Monitoring the Network from the
Statistics Menu
This chapter explains how to monitor the CrossFire 8730 Fast Ethernet Translation
Switch through a directly connected VT100 console or through a VT100 telnet
session. For information how to connect directly, see the
CrossFire 8730 Fast
Ethernet Translation Switch Installation Guide.
To use SNMP (in-band, through the network management), see Chapter 5,
“Monitoring the Network with SNMP”.
The information presented on the statistics screens in this chapter is typically used
for monitoring purposes only. This information is usually the result of input data
from the configuration menus (see Chapter 3, “Switch Configuration”). The
specifications presented on the statistic screens normally can not be modified.
Information within the statistics menus are updated (screens are refreshed) every 5
seconds.
The next section explains how to access the statistics menus, and the following
sections describe the information and submenus of the statistics menu.
➽
Note: The switch allows LAN Network Manager LLC frames to flow through the
switch. Therefore, communication between LAN Network Manager and existing
source-route bridges and controlled access units is maintained. However, some
error reporting functions and ring map functions might be lost for the rings attached
to the switch.
For information on how to navigate in the menus, see See “Navigating within the
Menus” on page 43.
