Monitoring and Analyzing Switch Operation
Overview
Overview
The Series 5300XL switches have several built-in tools for monitoring, analyz-
ing, and troubleshooting switch and network operation:
■ Status: Includes options for displaying general switch information, man-
agement address data, port status, port and trunk group statistics, MAC
addresses detected on each port or VLAN, and STP, IGMP, and VLAN data
(
page B-3).
■ Counters: Display details of traffic volume on individual ports (page B-9).
■ Event Log: Lists switch operating events (“Using the Event Log To
Identify Problem Sources” on page C-26).
■ Alert Log: Lists network occurrences detected by the switch—in the
Status | Overview screen of the web browser interface (page 5-18).
■ Configurable trap receivers: Uses SNMP to enable management sta-
tions on your network to receive SNMP traps from the switch. (Refer to
“Trap Features” on page 14-19.)
■ Port monitoring (mirroring): Copy all traffic from the specified ports
to a designated monitoring port (page B-22).
Note Link test and ping test—analysis tools in troubleshooting situations—are
described in appendix C, “Troubleshooting”. See page C-44.
