Ethernet Utilization Page
This page shows a chart for each Ethernet interface to illustrate inbound and outbound packet
utilization. This is shown as a percentage of the interface configuration (that is, if your interface is set
for 100BaseT, then 100% represents 100Mbps. Compare offered load (inbound) to delivered load
(outbound) to determine if radio capacity is a bottleneck for the data transfer. This chart can illustrate
inbound and/or outbound utilization, and uses different colors for data entry. The legend can be
hidden.
Figure 38 Ethernet Utilization page
Note that outbound utilization never exceeds the rate where a radio is configured. For example, if the
radio is configured for a 55 Mbps capacity, outbound utilization will never exceed 55 Mbps at
100BaseT.
The Ethernet Utilization Watermark level function allows administrators to receive an SNMP trap
when watermark conditions are exceeded. For example, if a radio is configured for 55 Mbps capacity,
the administrator may wish to be warned if the radio exceeds 50 Mbps for more than 1 hour per day. In
this case, set the Watermark level to 50% and the trap duration to 60 minutes. Traps must be enabled to
activate this function.
When the watermark level function is enabled, a line on the chart appears for data comparison to the
watermark.
