The four graphs (All Packets, TX Packets, RX Packets, and Error Packets) have the same
form, so we show here only the All Packets graph. The graph displays data transmission
activity by showing Packets/s (i.e., packets per second, or pps) versus sec. (seconds). In
fact, three curves are displayed on the same graph: Uni-cast packets (in red color),
Multi-cast packets (in green color), and Broad-cast packets (in blue color). The graph is
updated every few seconds, allowing the user to analyze data transmission activity in
real-time.
Monitor by Port
Access the Monitor by Port function by expanding the Port folder,
as shown to the right. Monitor by Port has two options, All Ports,
and Porti, in which i = 1, 2, ..., 8.
The Porti options are identical to the Monitor by Server 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
