Monitor by Port
Access the Monitor by Port function by selecting
ALL 10/100M or Port i
, in which
i= 1, 2, …,
from the left pull-down list. The
Port i
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 blue colored bar shows
Unicast
packets,
the red colored bar shows
Multicast
packets, and the orange colored bar shows
Broadcast
packets.
The graph is updated every few seconds, allowing the user to analyze data transmission activity in
real-time.
