To get this report, you need Network Health R4.01 or higher.
Setting Up Network Health for FrameSaver Devices For additional information about installing, accessing, and managing FrameSaver DSL devices through Concord’s Network Health, and for information about applicable reports, refer to: H Network Health Installation Guide to help you install the application. H Network Health User Guide to help you get started using the application. H Network Health Reports Guide to help you understand and use Frame Relay reports.
Setting Up Network Health for FrameSaver Devices Discovering FrameSaver Elements Once licenses are entered and you have access to the applications, the Discover dialog box opens. Use this dialog box to search for FrameSaver units in your network and discover their DLCIs. Saving the results of the search creates definitions in the Poller Configuration, which are used to poll the units.
Setting Up Network Health for FrameSaver Devices Configuring the Discovered Elements Network Health sets the speed for discovered elements when it polls the unit for the first time. For a FrameSaver DSL unit, the speed set would be the unit’s CIR. No additional configuration should be required. However, you should verify that all appropriate information has been retrieved.
Setting Up Network Health for FrameSaver Devices Grouping Elements for Reports Once the discovery process is completed and required changes are made, the newly discovered elements (DLCIs) should be organized into a group for Health reporting. Grouping makes for easier monitoring and management of similar node types (e.g., all FrameSaver and SLV elements). Once grouped, you can then run reports on all DLCIs in the network, as well as reports on individual DLCIs. " Procedure To group elements: 1.
Setting Up Network Health for FrameSaver Devices Generating Reports for a Group Once Network Health has had sufficient time to gather data from the polled DLCIs and the DLCIs have been grouped, you can start generating reports. When selecting a report Section, select WAN from the drop-down list. See Running Reports from the Console in the Network Health Reports Guide for additional information. That section also tells you how to schedule automatic report generation.
Setting Up Network Health for FrameSaver Devices About Trend Reports By specifying specific variables like bandwidth, trend analysis can be performed and shown on Trend Reports. Up to ten variables for a DLCI, or ten DLCIs on one variable can be generated on a single trend report. Information can be presented in a line graph, pie chart, bar chart, or table format. Any amount of time can be specified for the reporting period.
Setting Up Network Health for FrameSaver Devices — Elements Summary Report – Compares DLCI traffic with volume and the baseline, bandwidth utilization, and errors. Use this report for DLCI detail information and comparison, to identify DLCIs with above or below average volume so they can be investigated when there are any significant changes. H Supplemental Report – Shows DLCI availability and latency. The information shown in this report is also on other Health reports.
Setting Up Network Health for FrameSaver Devices — FrameSaver SLV Plus At-a-Glance Report – For FrameSaver units with the SLV and SLM reporting feature set, performs trend analysis on up to ten specified variables for DLCIs. This is the first Network Health report to integrate the FrameSaver SLV unit’s unique monitoring capabilities, using the unit’s SLV-advanced network statistics.
Setting Up Network Health for FrameSaver Devices H Trend Reports – Perform trend analysis on up to ten specified variables for DLCIs. Variables other than bandwidth can be selected for a trend report (e.g., burst octets), but a bandwidth trend report should be generated when investigating problems that appear on Exceptions Reports, Supplemental Reports, and Health reports.
