Interface Overview report

Interface Overview report overview

The Interface Overview report shows an overview of protocol, TOS, host, and conversation traffic for a selected IGP interface. The report can be run on its own or as a drill-down from an Interface Utilization Summary report.

The default display is a set of graphs showing ingress, egress stacked trends and summaries.

Use cases

Capacity planning—Use the report to examine interface utilization patterns for planning future capacity requirements.

Prerequisites

The collection of IPFIX statistics, which are also called system Cflowd or NetFlow v10 statistics, must be enabled; see the NSP NFM-P Statistics Management Guide.

To view the report for granularities other than raw data, the aggregation rules must be enabled; see How do I configure analytics aggregation?. The following table describes the aggregation rules and the accounting policies that must be configured for the NEs on which statistics are to be collected; see the NSP NFM-P Statistics Management Guide for information about configuring an accounting policy.
