Performance View Page
The Performance View Page graphically shows real-time data throughput for each port and switch bandwidth
utilization.
The two types of performance data shown are the throughput of each port and total switch throughput.
Bandwidth utilization is critical information needed to make decisions about optimizing performance, for
instance, if one port begins to handle a disproportionate amount of traffic.
Port Detail View Page
The Port Detail View Page shows statistics and general information for all ports, including LED status.
The Port Detail View appears for whatever port you select in the General Switch View. Once in this view,
every port for that switch may be viewed sequentially, by selecting its file folder. Each folder's tab replicates
the port's LED status which allows you to monitor all port status at the same time. Port details include
statistics about frames, interrupts, and errors that are helpful when troubleshooting.
Administrative Functions
The administrative functions provide two screens for secured interfaces, as described in the following
subsections:
Administrative Interface Page
The Administrative Interface Page is used to perform routine functions, such as upgrading firmware versions,
changing passwords, or switch reconfigurations.
Telnet Interface Page
The Telnet Interface Page uses Dell's superset of Telnet commands (configuration, diagnostics, displaying,
and routing) for switch diagnostics, troubleshooting, and management.
