Monitor by Port
Access the Monitor by Port function by selecting ALL 10/100M or Port i, in which i= 1, 2, …, 16, from the left
pull-down list. The Port i options are identical to the Monitor by System 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 blue colored bar shows Uni-cast packets, the red colored bar
shows Multi-cast packets, and the orange colored bar shows Broad-cast packets. The graph is updated every
few seconds, allowing the user to analyze data transmission activity in real-time.
