Avaya C360 SMON User Guide 6
SMON Overview
You select the most active ports by using a rate base. SMON measures the
rate base for all the ports to find the most active ports and then displays
these ports and their statistics. This process is called Port TopN.
Using the Port Statistics tool in conjunction with VLAN Statistics and
Switch Statistics makes it straightforward to discover the cause of a
problem. For example, using Switch Statistics you may discover that there
are too many errors on a specific switch. You could then use Port Statistics
to help indicate the port from which the problem originates.
Extended Port Statistics Overview
The Extended Port Statistics tool measures the traffic travelling through a
specific port. SMON shows details of the traffic on the port, including
packet types and error types.
If you notice that a particular port displays a disproportionate amount of
errors, Extended Port Statistics can help you identify the type of error
occurring most often. This can help you pinpoint the cause of the
problem.
VLAN Statistics Overview
The VLAN Statistics tool measures the switched traffic travelling through
VLANs on the selected switch. A VLAN consists of stations connected
logically rather than physically. A VLAN can be used, for example, to
distribute network resources by department, even if the department’s
stations are not all located in the same area. Therefore, a VLAN can
incorporate stations from different devices.
By comparing the load of each VLAN you can discover which VLANs are:
• Utilizing their full capacity.
• Under capacity.
• Over-extended and probably causing a degradation in performance
to the users.
VLAN Statistics represents the information as a horizontal bar chart. Using
this tool in conjunction with Port Statistics and Switch Statistics makes it
straightforward to discover the cause of a problem. For example, using
VLAN Statistics you may discover that there are too many broadcast
errors on a specific VLAN. You could then use Port Statistics to help
indicate the port from which the problem originates.
