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.
Note: There will be a delay in launching the report.
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 tasks need to be performed using NSP Classic management for Port Throughput Summary reports to be created:
-
Interface Additional Statistics (Physical Equipment) must be enabled on the port; see information in the NSP NFM-P Statistics Management Guide about creating or editing a MIB statistics policy using a bottom-up method.
-
For a Service Utilization per Port Details report to be available as a drill-down, a Complete Service Ingress Egress accounting policy 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 policy must be assigned to the SAPs of each service represented in the Utilization reports. If there is no accounting policy, the Port Throughput Summary report will be available, however, if you click on an entry in the Average Utilization (%) column, the Service Utilization per Port Details drill-down report will not be generated.
-
For a Port Forwarding Class Details report to be available as a drill-down, a Complete Network Ingress Egress accounting policy must be configured for the NEs on which statistics are to be collected; see the NSP NFM-P Statistics Management Guide for information. The accounting policy must be assigned to the ports or LAGs for which the Forwarding Class Details reports will be created. If there is no accounting policy the Port Throughput Summary report will be available, however, if you click on an entry in the Minimum column, the Port Forwarding Class Details drill-down report will not be generated.
-
You must configure SAP on an access port. When an access port is not configured with SAP, the drill down from Port Throughput to Service Utilization per Port Details does not generate a report and shows a warning in the input prompts.
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?.
