Avaya P130 SMON User Guide

Comparing the traffic graphs to the meters can often point you in the

right direction for locating a problem. For example, the pie chart may

show an abnormal amount of non-unicast packets, while the bandwidth

usage shown in the traffic graph has increased significantly. This may

suggest that one of the stations attached to the switch is generating the

non-unicast packets. By using VLAN Statistics you can locate the VLAN

where the problem originates. By using Port Statistics you can locate the

port to which the suspected station is attached.

* Note: All counters are in packets except counters that measure

bandwidth, which are in kilobits (Kbps), and utilization,

which is a percentage.
