Monitor by Port
Access the Monitor by Port function by selecting
ALL 10/100M Ports
or
Port
i
, in which
i
= 1,
2, … 8, etc., from the left pull-down list. The
Port
i
options are identical to the Monitor by System
function discussed previously, in that users can view graphs that show Total Packets, TX Packets,
RX Packets, or Error Packets activity, but in this case, only for an individual port.
The
All
10/100M 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 10/100M 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.
