Bandwidth Monitor

The Ingress and Egress Bandwidth data flow chart provides a visual representation of incoming (Ingress) and outgoing (Egress) bandwidth traffic. The current percentage of total bandwidth used, average flow of bandwidth traffic, and the minimum and maximum amount of traffic that has gone through each interface is available in the display.

NOTE: The Bandwidth charts have no direct correlation to the Application charts.
NOTE: This Bandwidth Monitor is different from the Dashboard > BWM Monitor page (see Monitoring Interface Bandwidth Traffic ) in that the Bandwidth Monitor page is interface based instead of policy based.

Flow Chart

The flow chart format overlaps the Bandwidth Interfaces, thus allowing you to view all of the Ingress and Egress Bandwidth traffic as it occurs. The x-axis displays the current time, and the y-axis displays the Ingress and Egress Bandwidth traffic.

Bar Chart

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

Options

Options are available to customize the Display, Scale, and View of the Ingress and Egress Bandwidth charts. The following option is specific to the Bandwidth chart; see Table 7. For other options and display features, see Common Features .
