Virtual Connect modules 233
o Degraded indicates that additional stacking cables should be connected to provide full redundancy.
Redundancy status depends on the stacking mode of the domain.
The table lists all of the Ethernet stacking links found in the Virtual Connect domain. Each row of the table
identifies the link speed and the module and port number of the connections on both sides of the link.
NOTE: Virtual Connect does not support stacking for FC modules, so each VC-FC module or
FlexFabric module requires uplink connections to the external FC SAN environment.
For more information on stacking links and stacking links in multi-enclosure environments, see the latest HP
Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem Setup and Installation Guide in the Virtual Connect Information
Library (http://www.hp.com/go/vc/manuals).
Throughput Statistics screen
To access this screen, select Throughput Statistics from the Tools pull-down menu.
Telemetry support for network devices caters to seamless operations and interoperability by providing
visibility into what is happening on the network at any given time. It offers extensive and useful detection
capabilities which can be coupled with upstream systems for analysis and trending of observed activity.
The collection of Throughput Statistics can be enabled or disabled, and the sample rate can be configured.
The sampling rate determines the total sampling time frame. The available sampling rates go from 1 to 5
minutes or 1 hour, collecting up to 12.5 days of samples, depending on the sampling rate.
For detailed information about Throughput Statistics settings, see "Configuring Throughput Statistics (on page
102)."
When enabled, Throughput Statistics are collected for all ports, including Flex-10 subports, of each VC-Enet
module. Collected statistics include:
• Received bits (Mb/s)
• Transmitted bits (Mb/s)
• Received Packets (pkts/s)
