Chapter 1 Device Manager basics This chapter describes basic procedures for using the Device Manager software.
Chapter 1 Device Manager basics Note: On startup, Device Manager performs a DNS lookup for the machine on which it is running. If the DNS lookup is slow or fails, the initial Device Manager window may take up to 30 seconds to open. Figure 1 Device Manager window Setting the Device Manager properties Device Manager communicates with the BayStack 380-24F switch using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

Chapter 4 Setting up MultiLink Trunk ports MultiLink Trunking (MLT) is a point-to-point connection that aggregates multiple ports so that they logically act like a single port with the aggregated bandwidth. Grouping multiple ports into a logical link allows you to achieve higher aggregate throughput on a switch-to-switch or switch-to-server application. MultiLink Trunking provides media and module redundancy.

Chapter 8 RMON The Remote Network Monitoring (RMON) MIB is an interface between the RMON agent on a BayStack 380-24F Gigabit Switch and an RMON management application, such as the Device Manager. It defines objects that are suitable for the management of any type of network, but some groups are targeted for Ethernet networks in particular. The RMON agent continuously collects statistics and proactively monitors switch performance. You can view this data through the Device Manager.
Chapter 8 RMON 2 Do one of the following: • • • Double-click on the selected port From the shortcut menu, choose Graph. From the Device Manager main menu, choose Graph. The Graph Port dialog box opens with the Interface tab displayed (Figure 35 on page 76). 3 Click the RMON tab. The RMON tab opens (Figure 58). Figure 58 Port dialog box — RMON tab For descriptions of the RMON tab fields, refer to Table 36 on page 95. For descriptions of the statistics columns, refer to Table 10 on page 34.
Chapter 8 RMON 125 • • Buckets are gathered at 30-minute intervals. Number of buckets gathered is 50. Both the time interval and the number of buckets is configurable. However, when the last bucket is reached, bucket 1 is dumped and “recycled” to hold a new bucket of statistics. Then bucket 2 is dumped, and so forth. To view RMON history: 1 Select an object (port or chassis). 2 On the toolbar, click Graph. The graph Port dialog box opens with the Interface tab displayed (Figure 40 on page 87).
Chapter 8 RMON Creating a history You can use RMON to collect statistics at intervals. For example, if you want RMON statistics to be gathered over the weekend, you will want enough buckets to cover two days. To do this, set the history to gather one bucket each hour, thus covering a 48-hour period. After you set history characteristics, you cannot modify them; you must delete the history and create another one.
Chapter 8 RMON 127 Table 48 History tab fields Field Description Index A unique value assigned to each interface. An index identifies an entry in a table. Port Any Ethernet interface on the device. BucketsRequested The requested number of discrete time intervals over which data is to be saved in the part of the media-specific table associated with this entry.

The default is 1800 seconds. 6 Type the owner, the network management system that created this entry. 7 Click Insert.

The Ether Stats entry is removed from the table. Alarms Alarms are useful when you need to know when the values of a variable go out of range. You can define an RMON alarm for any MIB variable that resolves to an integer value. You cannot use string variables (such as system description) as alarm variables.
Chapter 8 RMON Figure 65 How alarms fire Rising value Falling value Alarm fires No firing 7821EA It is important to note that the alarm fires during the first interval that the sample goes out of range. No additional events are generated for that threshold until the opposite threshold is crossed. Therefore, it is important to carefully define the rising and falling threshold values for alarms to work as expected. Otherwise, incorrect thresholds causes an alarm to fire at every alarm interval.
Chapter 8 RMON 133 spanning tree is disabled (which would cause the value for outbound octets to drop to zero), the falling alarm cannot fire because the baseline traffic is always greater than the value of the falling threshold. By definition, the failure of the falling alarm to fire prevents the rising alarm from firing a second time.
Chapter 8 RMON and allows for the detection of threshold crossings that span the sampling boundary. If you track the current values of a given delta-valued alarm and add them together, therefore, the result is twice the actual value. (This result is not an error in the software.) Alarm Manager example Note: The example alarm described in the following procedure generates at least one alarm every five minutes. The example is intended only to demonstrate how alarms fire; it is not a useful alarm.
Chapter 8 RMON 135 2 In the variable field, select a variable for the alarm from the list and a port (or other ID) on which you want to set an alarm (Figure 68). Figure 68 Alarm variable list Alarm variables are in three formats, depending on the type: • • • A chassis alarm ends in .x where the x index is hard-coded. No further information is required. A card, spanning tree group (STG) or EtherStat alarm ends with a dot (.). You must enter a card number, STG ID, IP address, or EtherStat information.

Chapter 8 RMON Table 51 Describes the fields on the Alarms tab (continued) Field Description Value The value of the statistic during the last sampling period. For example, if the sample type is deltaValue, this value is the difference between the samples at the beginning and end of the period. If the sample type is absoluteValue, this value is the sampled value at the end of the period. This is the value that is compared with the rising and falling thresholds.
