Port Forwarding Class Details report

Port Forwarding Class Details report overview

The Port Forwarding Class Details report shows throughput and utilization information for each forwarding class of a selected port or LAG. The report can be run on its own or as a drill-down from a Port Throughput Summary report.

The default display is a summary table and a set of multi-axis graphs, showing total bitrate and utilization of the port or LAG, the bitrate of each forwarding class, and any configured thresholds.

It is not mandatory to configure QoS for this report since the default QoS settings apply.

Use cases

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

Limitations

Report limitations include:

When the report is exported to the DOCX file type, table details do not display.
When the report is exported to the RTF file type, the report does not display completely.
Minimum and maximum throughput aggregation cannot be compared with the minimum and maximum throughput values generated from raw granularity.

Prerequisites

The following tasks need to be performed using NSP Classic management for Port Forwarding Class Details reports to be created:

A Network Queue policy must be configured and distributed on the NE.
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. The accounting policies must be assigned to the ports or LAGs for which the Forwarding Class Details reports will be created. To view the report for granularities other than raw data, the aggregation rules must be enabled; see How do I configure analytics aggregation?.

Report characteristics

The following table lists the principal report characteristics.

Table 14-24: Port Forwarding Class Details report characteristics

Characteristic	Value
Data type	Statistics
Source database	Auxiliary database
Report inputs	Prompt	Notes
	End date	Calendar date or relative date (for example, two days ago) and time
	Granularity	Aggregation types: None (raw data) Hourly Daily Monthly
	Report range	Length of time to be reported, in minutes (minutes, min), hours (hours, h), days (days, d), or months (months, m)
	NE Types	Search using partial names or wildcard (%). Select individual items or click Select All.
	Name or name pattern for NEs
	NEs
	Port Modes	Select Network or Hybrid. Select individual items or click Select All.
	Port/LAG	Select one radio button
	Name or name pattern for ports	Search using partial names or wildcard (%). Select individual items or click Select All.
	Physical Port / LAG
	KPI	Raw Granularity: Total Traffic – Utilization Total Traffic – Bitrate Egress Traffic – Utilization Egress Traffic – Bitrate Ingress Traffic – Utilization Ingress Traffic – Bitrate Granularities: Minimum, maximum, and average of all KPIs Note: For the SAS NE, the report shows only one direction of data at a time: Either egress traffic or ingress traffic. Note: When you select a single KPI, an extra space between the graph and the table displays in the report.
	Total Threshold	Specify in bps/Kbps/Mbps/Gbps
	Ingress Threshold
	Egress Threshold
	Logo Resource ID	The logo to add to the report. Enter the Resource ID of the logo image in the Images folder. The default is the Nokia logo. To create the report without a logo, leave the Logo Resource ID field blank.
	Logo Position	Choose Left, Middle, or Right. The logo appears on the left on the first page of the report if you choose Left or Middle.
	Show report output on one page	Select the check box to enable pagination. Note: Using the Show report output on one page option when creating reports as drill-downs may impact report rendering time. Nokia recommends disabling the Show report output on one page option when creating reports.
Drill-down support	No
