Connection utilization
NOTE
Connection utilization is only supported on the following managed objects: E_ports, F_ports,
N_ports, 10 GE_ports and FCIP tunnels.
Performance connection utilization for device ports provides the following features:
• Turns the utilization display on and off from the menu and tool bar.
• Displays moving dotted colored lines that originate from a port.
• Displays two lines in the topology (when turned on); one represents percentage utilization for
transmit and the other percentage utilization for receive. The movement of the line determines
if it is a transmit or a receive.
- Receive (Rx)—line moves into a port.
- Transmit (Tx)—line moves out of a port.
• Displays different colors to represent the percentage utilization range.
The colors and their meanings are outlined in the following table.
