Bridge Statistics 3-9

9E312/9E423 Module Bridging

Conﬁguring the Bridge Performance Graphs

To conﬁgure the Bridge Performance Graph:

1. Using the mouse, click on (with green statistics to the right). The

Forwarded pull-down menu will appear. Click on the desired mode.

2. Click on (with magenta statistics to the right). The Filtered pull-

down menu will appear. Click on the desired mode.

3. Click on (with red statistics to the right). The Errors pull-down

menu will appear. Click on the desired mode.

4. Click on (with blue statistics to the right). The Xmitted pull-down

menu will appear. Click on the desired mode.

The Performance Graph will now monitor the 9E312/9E423 Module’s bridging

process at the device or port level. Once you have selected a new mode, it will

appear in its respective button, and after the next poll the Performance Graph will

refresh and begin to measure using the new mode.

The Interface Statistics Window

You can use the Interface Statistics window to view information for each

individual bridge port on your 9E312/9E423 Module. Statistics are provided for

both transmit and receive packets at each port, as well as error and buffering

information.

A color-coded pie chart in the middle of the window lets you graphically view

statistics for Unicast, Non-Unicast, Discarded, and Error packets.

To access the interface Statistics window:

1. Click on the individual bridge port index ( ) to reveal the Port menu.

2. Choose I/F Stats.... The following window, Figure 3-3, will appear.

NOTES

Because of the mismatch between the number of physical interfaces on the device and the

number of interfaces performing bridging, the physical indexing of interfaces on both the

9E423 and 9E312 (the MIB-II ifIndex) does not match the indexing of ports with respect

to the bridge.

For the 9E423, the Statistics window title bar for bridge port 2 (as labeled in the Bridge

Status window) displays “Port 6”; for bridge port 3, it displays “Port 7,” and so on.

For the 9E312, the Statistics window title bar for bridge port 2 (as labeled in the Bridge

Status window) displays “Port 4”; f or bridge port 3 it displays “Port 5” and so on.
