Monitor by Port
Access the Monitor by Port function by selecting ALL Ports or Porti, in which i= 1, 2, …, 8,
from the left pull-down list. The Porti 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 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.
