Obtaining Interface Statistics

You can use DCNM-SAN or Device Manager to collect interface statistics on any switch. These statistics are collected at intervals that you can set.

Note     In DCNM-SAN, you can collect interface statistics by expanding ISLs and selecting Statistics from the Physical Attributes pane.

Detailed Steps

To obtain and display interface counters using Device Manager, follow these steps:

  1. From the menu bar, click Interface. Select Monitor.

    2. Select any of the Interfaces that are displayed. For example, Virtual FC Enabled.

  2. Set both the number of seconds at which you want to poll the interface statistics and how you want the data represented in the Interval drop-down menus. For example, click 10s and LastValue/sec.
  3. Select any tab to view those related statistics.
  4. (Optional) Click the Pencil icon to reset the cumulative counters.
  5. (Optional) Click the Save icon to save the gathered statistics to a file or select the Print icon to print the statistics.
  6. Click Close when you are finished gathering and displaying statistics.
