Chapter 16: Monitoring Real-Time Performance

gathering of statistics by using the Graph toolbar as discussed in 

“Using the Graph 

Toolbar” on page 277

.

Obtaining IPX Error Statistics

Obtain IPX error statistics for an SSR if you want to determine how many IPX packets had 
bad header information, incorrect checksums, invalid structures, or other problems. The 
IPX error statistics also indicates how many times no route destination was found for IPX 
information. To display IPX error statistics:

1.

If you are not currently in the Front Panel view, switch to it by clicking the CoreWatch 
main window. 

2.

Select the Monitor menu, choose Performance, choose IPX, and then choose Error 
Statistics

.

An IPX Error Statistics graph similar to the following appears. By examining the 
graph, you can determine how many of the different IPX errors the SSR is experiencing 
and the time at which they occurred.

Table 43. IPX Packet Statistics Graph Abbreviations

Abbreviation

 Description

InReceives

Total of all IPX packets the SSR received. This includes packets 
that have errors.

InDelivers

IPX packets that were destined for the SSR and were successfully 
delivered.

OutRequests

Number of requests made to the SSR to send out IPX data. This 
statistic does not include any packets the SSR forwards.

OutPackets

Number of IPX packets that were successfully sent from the SSR.
