Legends:
FPL - Fast Packet Load : Percent of FP bus load / Total bus load.
GWL - Gateway Module Load : Percent of FP bus load / Max FP bus load.
====================================================================
This report tells us that the IGX switch with the ATM end is using 40 of its 584 UBU's, where the IGX
switch with the FR end is using 118 UBUs. Looking to the UXM trunk card on slot 3 for both switches,
the UXM trunk card at the ATM end is configured to reserve 25 UBUs of the bus, with the current traffic
load requiring 13. The maximum setting for this value for a UXM card is 235. The FPL percent means
that only 8% of the traffic on this card is in Fast Packets, and the GWL percent means that only 2% of
the maximum Fast Packets are being used by the card. Note that the FP traffic here is internally signaling
between the card and switch. At the FR end, the FPL is 100%, as all traffic on this card is FP. The GWL
is also%100 because this card can take no more FP traffic. It can take more ATM traffic.
Note Card Statistics output is in DBF format.
PNNI Topology Report
The PNNI Topology Report lists all the virtual links in the PNNI Topology.
View Summary
The View Summary Report is generated from the FILE/VIEW SUMMARY menu. This report gives you
an overview of the input plan CNF file. You can run this report without running the ROUTE or
OPTIMIZE execute command.
The output of the View Summary can also be displayed with the sniffcnf command from the UNIX CLI.
The utility command has options for displaying summary information for all or specific site locations
See the “Utility Commands” section for more information.
Using the Map Tool
The network topology map provides a useful tool for visualizing your network model. The map tool
provides the following features:
• Graphical display of the topology
• Help for conducting fail analysis
• Allows you to visualize traffic levels
Start the map after running an NMT command (for example, route, optimize, or failure analysis). If
you rerun an NMT command, select Update on the map to view the new results.
The map tool includes several menus, described in Table 6-1.
