Accessing the Logical or Interface Device Views
Interface Detail View
Logical Gauge Label/Performance View
Zone (f) of the Logical Interface Icon (see Figure 2-2) accesses the Performance
view for the interface. The Performance view is a multi-line graph and
provides routing information (traffic flow) in packets, as described below. This
area is also a Logical Gauge which is described later in this chapter.
Multi-Attribute Line Graph
The Multi-Attribute Line Graph provides a general indication of routing
activity. The attributes displayed are pre-selected and use colors to represent
different statistics.
Interface Detail View
The Interface Detail view is accessed by clicking the Detail button in the
Performance view. It provides three color-coded pie charts displaying packet
breakdown information for the interface. Table 2-2, Table 2-3, and Table 2-4
list the information provided by these pie charts.
Each statistic is presented as a total amount since the interface was
initialized and as a percentage of overall network traffic.

Statistic Definition
Delivered Packets delivered to a high level protocol.
Transmitted Packets transmitted through this interface.
Errors Packets containing errors preventing them from being
delivered to a higher level protocol.
Discards Packets discarded even though no errors were detected
to make them undeliverable - such packets may have
been discarded to increase buffer space.
Statistic Definition
In Errors Packets received containing errors.
Out Errors Packets transmitted containing errors.
