Overview
Monitoring and Analyzing
Switch Operation
Overview
The Switch 4108GL has several built-in tools for monitoring, analyzing, and
troubleshooting switch and network operation:
■ Status: Includes options for displaying general switch information, man-
agement address data, port status, port and trunk group statistics, MAC
addresses detected on each port or VLAN, and STP, IGMP, and VLAN data
(page 17-3).
■ Counters: Display details of traffic volume on individual ports (page
17-9).
■ Event Log: Lists switch operating events (“Using the Event Log To
Identify Problem Sources” on page 16).
■ Alert Log: Lists network occurrences detected by the switch—in the
Status | Overview screen of the web browser interface (page 4-20).
■ Configurable trap receivers: Uses SNMP to enable management sta-
tions on your network to receive SNMP traps from the switch (page 12-8).
■ Port monitoring (mirroring): Copy all traffic from the specified ports
to a designated monitoring port (page 17-23).
Note Link test and ping test—analysis tools in troubleshooting situations—are
described in chapter 18, “Troubleshooting”. See page 18-17.
