Monitoring Interfaces and Trunks

Selecting an Interface

There are four ways to select the interface (the rear view of the card must be displaying) to display the appropriate Interface Monitor dialog:

To view the parameters in line graph format, use the HP OpenView Grapher application. Select the parameters you want by clicking once on each, then click the Grapher button. The Monitor dialog remains open.

Monitoring Interfaces

The Monitors Interfaces menu provides dialogs to monitor the following:

These dialogs are described in the sections that follow.
