Performance Graphs Menu
The Performance Graphs menu of the Performance Monitor feature is made up of the
following sub-menus:
• Basic Monitoring

Basic Monitoring
The Basic Monitoring sub-menu allows the creation of graphs that monitor the
functionality of switches and ports, such as performance and traffic. Unlike the
Advanced graphs, Basic graphs do not display device-specific information.
To access the Basic Monitoring pull-down menu:
1. Select the Performance icon (from the Switch View).
2. Select the Performance Graphs pull-down menu.
3. Select the Basic Monitoring option.
Table 4–11 describes the types of graphs that are available through the Basic
Monitoring menu.
