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 (Tx)—line moves out of a port.
