Switch Network Analytics
The Switch Network Analytics section of the Network Analytics Dashboard provides information to help monitor and evaluate the Switches performance metrics.
The top section provides the following information to help monitor and evaluate Device health:
The number of devices with CPU usage that exceeds the threshold value.
The number of devices with memory usage that exceeds the threshold value.
The CPU and memory health threshold values are configurable for a specific device; the CPU and memory health threshold values are configurable for all devices associated with a specific Site. Note that device threshold values take precedence over Site threshold values. See the Configure Network Analytics Thresholds online help for more information.
Data displayed can be exported into a CSV, PDF or Excel sheet format. You can also switch to full-screen mode for a better display.
The Switches field values provide the following information:
Friendly Name - The name assigned to the device is derived from the Preferred Device Naming convention specified in the user preference settings. By default, the Friendly Name is set to IP Address (System Name).
MAC Address - The Switch MAC address.
Wired Client - The number of Wired Clients connected to the Switch.
CPU Usage - The CPU Usage of the Switch device.
Memory Usage - The Memory Usage of the Switch device.
Updated At - The time of the last event received from the Switch that was used to calculate the Uptime or downtime.
Note: The Switches table displays only those Devices which are fully connected and managed with OmniVista Cirrus R10 monitoring agent. The Devices which are not active will not be displayed here.
To explore specific Device Level Analytics, click on the specific ‘Friendly Name’ in the Switches Table to view the detail Device Analytics of selected Switch as shown below.
The Switch primary and secondary face plate along with Virtual Chassis slots appears with Switch details like Device Name, Model, IP address, serial number, chassis type and running status and is displayed at the top of the screen as shown below. The Virtual Chassis 1 is selected by default as shown in blue color.
You can click on any of the slot on the Switch faceplate to view the related widget for Switch health performance.
The following parameters can be monitored by using below Charts and Tables to evaluate the Switch Health Trend which is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
CMM Utilization Summary
The CMM Utilization Summary table displays the summary of CPU, Memory, Tx and Rx Average utilization for the Switch.
Switch Health (CPU/Memory)
The Switch Health Metrics graph used to evaluate the percentage of Switch CPU and Memory usage for the selected time window range.
Data displayed in the bar chart widget can be exported into a CSV or Excel sheet format. You can also switch the widget to full-screen mode for a better display.
Throughput Consumption
The Throughput Consumption section includes a graph representing the number of bytes received and transmitted by Clients to Switch over time.
Data displayed in the bar chart widget can be exported into a CSV or Excel sheet format. You can also switch the widget to full-screen mode for a better display.
Port level Health and Statistics
Under the Device Detail section of the Switch Network Analytics, click on Port tab to monitor the following parameters during the specified time window range.
Data displayed in each widget can be exported into a CSV, PDF or Excel sheet format. You can also switch the widgets to full-screen mode for a better display.
Ports List - It is the list of ports which are active in Switch and the their respective TX and RX Health information.
For each Port in the list, the following attribute values are provided:
Port - The name of the port.
Admin Status - Admin status of the port (Up or down).
Operational Status - Operational status of the port.
Physical address - Physical MAC address of the port.
Tx Avg - It is the average TX usage in percentage supported by the port in one minute/one hour/one day.
Tx/Rx Avg - It is the average of TX and RX usage in percentage supported by the port in one minute/one hour/one day.
Ports PoE - It is the list of the PoE status for the ports of the Switch.
For each Port in the list, the following attribute values are provided:
VC/Slot/Port - It is the Virtual chassis number/Slot name/Port name.
Port - The name of the port.
Priority - It defines the priority of the PoE.
PoE Status - The status of PoE (Enable/Disable).
Actual PoE - The current PoE wattage.
Max PoE - The maximum allowed PoE wattage.
Port Health - The line chart represents the Bytes-in and Bytes-out counter of the Switch over the selected time range. It displays the health of the 1/1/1 port by default. However, you can select another port from the drop-down list to view the health analytics of another port.
Configured VLANs by port
Under the Device Detail section of the Switch Network Analytics, click on VLAN tab to monitor the following parameters during the specified time window range.
Data displayed in each widget can be exported into a CSV, PDF or Excel sheet format. You can also switch the widgets to full-screen mode for a better display.
For the VLANs by port in the list, the following attribute values are provided:
Port - The name of the port.
Physical address - The MAC address of the Switch.
Default VLAN - The default Virtual LAN configured on the port.
Tagged VLANs - It displays the list of tagged VLANs.
Untagged VLANs - It displays the list of untagged VLANs.
BVPA VLANs - It displays the BVPA VLANs.
LLDP Links
Under the Device Detail section of the Switch Network Analytics, click on LLDP tab to monitor the following parameters during the specified time window range.
Data displayed in each widget can be exported into a CSV, PDF or Excel sheet format. You can also switch the widgets to full-screen mode for a better display.
Live UNP Clients
Under the Device Detail section of the Switch Network Analytics, click on UNP tab to monitor the Live UNP Clients connected to the current Switch.
Data displayed in each widget can be exported into a CSV, PDF or Excel sheet format. You can also switch the widgets to full-screen mode for a better display.
When you click on the Device button, it displays a drop-down list of the MAC Address or IP Address on the Device list. You can choose another Switch MAC Address from the list by selecting another MAC Address from the menu, to view the device level analytics of other devices without returning to the Network Analytics screen as shown below.
