Monitoring Interface Status and Traffic

Purpose

Use the monitoring functionality to view interface status or to monitor interface bandwidth utilization and traffic statistics on the EX-series switch.

The J-Web interface monitors interface bandwidth utilization and plots real-time charts to display input and output rates in bytes per second. In addition, the Interface monitoring page displays input and output error counters in the form of charts.

Alternatively, you can enter the show commands in the CLI to view interface status and traffic statistics.

Action

To view general interface information in the J-Web interface such as available interfaces, select Monitor>Interfaces. You can click any interface to view details about its status.

Using the CLI:

• To view interface status for all the interfaces, enter show interfaces.
• To view status and statistics for a specific interface, enter show interfaces interface-name.
• To view status and traffic statistics for all interfaces, enter either show interfaces detail or show interfaces extensive.

Meaning

In the J-Web interface the charts displayed are:

• Bar charts—Display the input and output error counters.
• Pie charts—Display the number of broadcast, unicast, and multicast packet counters.

To clear the statistics in the J-Web Interface monitoring page, click Clear Statistics.

For details about output from the CLI commands, see show interfaces (Gigabit Ethernet) or show interfaces (10-Gigabit Ethernet).
