Hi All,
I need some help measuring "performance" on my Cisco 350-x infrastructure. My boss keeps telling me "this user and that user" is having problems due to "congestion on the network" whatever that means right?
Any way I figure I need to gather evidence to disprove this theory....
I have a stack of 4 Cisco 350X-48's stacked by fibre gbics and I note I have access to some cool looking graphs in the RMON options under Status & Statistics, but I'm not overly sure what it is telling me. I figure I need an interpreter which is why I'm here!
I can select a port (of a user who's complaining about issues) and I can see the graph for the day... but what do all the check boxes mean ? e.g. Frames of 64 bytes, 65 - 127 etc etc ? If I tick them all I get a nice graph, does that show me the "traffic" on that port over that period of time? If there's a peak of over 100000 Frames on the 64 bytes line between 11am and 1pm is that bad ?
If I go to Port utilisation and select the same port then select last day as the option it all seems to be 0% utilised on TX & RX do i have to enable something to see some traffic (which there must have been?)
Sorry if this is all basic stuff but I'm a bit in the dark as to how to determine or prove whether there is or isn't an issue with the kit, quite apart from all the other possible reasons for it there might be.
All the best.
Paul.
