To access the control panel, click Control Panel.

The Control Panel contains the following menus:

Graph Type – The graph type menu contains a selection of different graph views including: Bar, Area, Plot, Scatter Plot, Stacking Bar, Stacking Area and Pie.
Data Buffer Size – The number of past graph samples stored. The greater the number, the more samples are stored for later review.
Monitor Size – The number of graph samples that are displayed on the screen.
Sample Time – The amount of time between samples, in seconds.
Presentation Units – The average number of events, per number of seconds entered here, based on the the total number of events recorded for the duration of the Sample Time. For example, if the Presentation Units is set as 1, and the Sample Time is set as 5, the graph will display the average number of events per 1 second based on the last 5 seconds of data. Changing the value of the Presentation Units will change the display of all graphs still in the buffer.

To review the last compiled graph:

  The last graph that was compiled opens.

The following counters can be graphed:

Total IP datagrams received – The total number of input datagrams received from interfaces, including those received in error.
datagrams discarded - IP header error – The number of input datagrams discarded due to errors in their IP headers, including bad checksums, version number mismatch, other format errors, time-to-live exceeded, errors discovered in processing their IP options, etc."
datagrams discarded - IP address not valid – The number of input datagrams discarded because the IP address in their IP header's destination field was not a valid address to be received at this entity. This count includes invalid addresses (e.g., 0.0.0.0) and addresses of unsupported Classes (e.g., Class E). For entities which are not IP Gateways and therefore do not forward datagrams, this counter includes datagrams discarded because the destination address was not a local address.
Input IP fine datagrams discarded – The number of input IP datagrams for which no problems were encountered to prevent their continued processing, but which were discarded (e.g., for lack of buffer space). Note that this counter does not include any datagrams discarded while awaiting re-assembly.
IP datagrams successfully delivered – The total number of input datagrams successfully delivered to IP user-protocols (including ICMP).
Total IP datagrams requests for transmission – The total number of IP datagrams which local IP user-protocols (including ICMP) supplied to IP in requests for transmission. Note that this counter does not include any datagrams counted in ipForwDatagrams.
Output IP fine datagrams discarded – The number of output IP datagrams for which no problem was encountered to prevent their transmission to their destination, but which were discarded (e.g., for lack of buffer space). Note that this counter would include datagrams counted in ipForwDatagrams if any such packets met this (discretionary) discard criterion.
Total SNMP messages received – The total number of Messages delivered to the SNMP entity from the transport service.
Total SNMP output messages passed – The total number of SNMP Messages which were passed from the SNMP protocol entity to the transport service.
SNMP 'get' requests retrieved successfully – The total number of MIB objects which have been retrieved successfully by the SNMP protocol entity as the result of receiving valid SNMP Get-Request and Get-Next PDUs.
SNMP 'set' requests retrieved successfully – The total number of MIB objects which have been altered successfully by the SNMP protocol entity as the result of receiving valid SNMP Set-Request PDUs.
SNMP 'Get-Request' PDUs processed – The total number of SNMP Get-Request PDUs which have been accepted and processed by the SNMP protocol entity.
SNMP 'Get-Next' PDUs processed – The total number of SNMP Get-Request PDUs which have been accepted and processed by the SNMP protocol entity.
SNMP 'Set-Request' PDUs processed – The total number of SNMP Set-Request PDUs which have been accepted and processed by the SNMP protocol entity.
SNMP output PDUs - 'tooBig' – The total number of SNMP PDUs which were generated by the SNMP protocol entity and for which the value of the error-status field is 'tooBig.'
SNMP output PDUs - 'noSuchName' – The total number of SNMP PDUs which were generated by the SNMP protocol entity and for which the value of the error-status is 'noSuchName'.
SNMP output PDUs - 'badValues' – The total number of SNMP PDUs which were generated by the SNMP protocol entity and for which the value of the error-status field is 'badValue'.
SNMP output PDUs - 'genErr' – The total number of SNMP PDUs which were generated by the SNMP protocol entity and for which the value of the error-status field is 'genErr'.
SNMP generated 'Get-Response' PDUs – The total number of SNMP Get-Response PDUs which have been generated by the SNMP protocol entity.
SNMP generated 'Trap' PDUs – The total number of SNMP Trap PDUs which have been generated by the SNMP protocol entity.
Input IP datagrams forwarded – The number of input datagrams for which this entity was not their final IP destination, as a result of which an attempt was made to find a route to forward them to that final destination. In entities which do not act as IP Gateways, this counter will include only those packets which were Source-Routed via this entity, and the Source - Route option processing was successful.
Input IP datagrams discarded - protocol problems – The number of locally-addressed datagrams received successfully but discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol.
Output IP datagrams discarded - no route found – The number of IP datagrams discarded because no route could be found to transmit them to their destination. Note that this counter includes any packets counted in ipForwDatagrams which meet this `no-route' criterion. Note that this includes any datagarms which a host cannot route because all of its default gateways are down.
IP fragments received - need reassembly – The number of IP fragments received which needed to be reassembled at this entity.
IP fragments - successfully reassembled – The number of IP datagrams successfully re-assembled.
IP fragments - failed reassembly – The number of failures detected by the IP re-assembly algorithm (for whatever reason: timed out, errors, etc). Note that this is not necessarily a count of discarded IP fragments since some algorithms (notably the algorithm in RFC 815) can lose track of the number of fragments by combining them as they are received.
IP datagrams - successfully fragmented – The number of IP datagrams that have been successfully fragmented at this entity.
IP datagrams discarded - not fragmented – The number of IP datagrams that have been discarded because they needed to be fragmented at this entity but could not be, e.g., because their Don't Fragment flag was set.
IP datagram fragments generated – The number of IP datagram fragments that have been generated as a result of fragmentation at this entity.
RIP - changes made to IP Route Database – The number of changes made to the IP Route Database by RIP.
RIP - global responses sent to RIP queries – The number of responses sent to RIP queries from other systems.
Resource Utilization – The percent of the device’s CPU currently utilized.
