Port Throughput Summary report

Port Throughput Summary report overview

The Port Throughput Summary report shows bandwidth utilization by specified ports. The default display is a set of time series graphs, showing total, ingress and egress.

The top 5 ports with the highest throughputs are shown in the report plots.

The summary table shows the minimum, average, and maximum throughput values and the average utilization, along with percentiles, for all the ports selected. The summary table displays the ports in descending order of average total throughput. The report also shows information such as the total count of errors of all types for the port. You can drill-down into the Port/LAG Details report to see the full breakdown of specific errors on the port.

If a percentile value from 1 to 99 is entered in the Percentile input, the selected percentile value of the data is shown in the table.

The values entered in the ingress, egress, and total threshold input prompts are compared with the average of ingress, egress, or total values and accordingly the records or rows in the table are highlighted. The highlighted rows (that is, the average values) are populated in the three rows above the table.

Additionally, the plot or graph shows the actual values at a specified time.

Use cases

Capacity planning—Use the report to examine traffic usage and patterns on a port, LAG, or MC LAG basis, to plan for capacity requirements.

Prerequisites

The following items need to be performed in the NFM-P for Port Throughput Summary reports to be created:

The following table describes the aggregation rules that must be enabled 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. To view the report for granularities other than raw data, the aggregation rules must be enabled; see How do I configure analytics aggregation?.
