Interface Usage

The Interface Usage charts provide a visual representation of Bandwidth, Packet Rate, and Packet Size. The current value, plus the minimum and maximum amounts is available in the display. The ingress values are at the top of the chart and the egress is at the bottom of the chart.

The Bandwidth charts have no direct correlation to the Application charts.

Stacked Bar Chart

The stacked chart format allows you to view all of traffic as it occurs. The x-axis displays the current time, and the y-axis displays the .

Bar Chart

The bar chart format displays data pertaining to individual interfaces in a bar chart; allowing comparisons of individual interfaces. In this chart, the x-axis denotes the interfaces whereas the y-axis denotes the traffic.
