Switch Statistics

Traffic Graph in the Switch Statistics Window

The lower portion of the Switch Statistics window is a traffic graph. The 

traffic graph displays selected variables as a line graph, in real-time. To 

select the color coded variables you want graphed, use the check boxes 

under the traffic graph.

For more information about available traffic variables, refer to the table 

below.

SMON continuously monitors statistics for all available Switch Statistics 

traffic variables, even those that are not currently selected. For 

information on finding the 5 highest peaks of traffic, refer to 

.

The X axis of the graph represents time. The scale on the X axis can be 

changed using the 

Samples Per Screen

 field in the Switch Options dialog 

box. For more information, refer to 

.

The units of the Y axis for all variables are packets. The scale on the Y axis 

depends on the maximum value among all of the variables. If the spread 

of values is wide, the graphs of variables with small values may not be 

visible. In this case, use the logarithmic traffic display to produce better 

results (refer to Appendix A, Logarithmic Display).
