View Network Transmission Information
Note
You can view network transmission information to see how much data is
flowing across the network NIC ports in the HP NetStorage 6000. This
information is used to determine if your network is running as efficiently
as possible. If one of the NIC ports has too much traffic, you may want to
move clients to another available NIC port. You can also view errors and
collisions to spot potential hardware problems. The table is updated every
five seconds.
To view network transmission information:
Using the NetStorage web interface, click the Status tab, then select
Network Transmission. The following network transmission information
displays:
n
NIC name (Network Interface Card): This is automatically assigned by
the HP NetStorage 6000.
n
Network address (the network IP address): This is either assigned by the
user or assigned using DHCP. If the port has not been configured, then
<Not Configured> is displayed.
n
Packets in: the cumulative total for this port
n
Packets out: the cumulative total for this port
n
Errors
n
Collisions
This information is displayed separately for each NIC port even if you
have taken advantage of port aggregation. When the HP NetStorage 6000
is reset or restarted, all of the numbers reset to zero.
