The Discard Frames column corresponds to the Dot1dTpPortInDiscards MIB object of
the dot1dTp group. This read-only object displays the number of received valid frames
that were discarded (that is, filtered) by the system filters.
If you select the line curve display, the Bridge Port Counters graph appears:
The following describes the various components on the above table:
The Name field displays the name of the device. This should reflect the setting on the
device SysName MIB object.
The Opened field displays the time and date when this current management session
with the selected device was started.
The IP Address field displays the IP address of the device.
The Target field identifies which part of the device this option applies to; in this case, it
applies to an interface (port).
The graph area displays the bridge port statistics in graphical format. From this area,
you can simultaneously monitor the graphical representation of the Input Frames,
Output Frames, and Discard Frames counters. The following describes the controls you
can use to set the graph configuration:
The Up- and Down- Arrow controls set the range on the y-axis. Use these controls to
enhance the graph readability if they appear too small or too big. If the graphs appear
too big to fit the screen, click the up-arrow control to increase the range on the y-axis.
If the graphs appear too small, click the down-arrow control to decrease the range on
the y-axis. You can also control the graph width via the Dur buttons.
The Graph Color control sets the background color of the graph. To set, click this
control and select the color you want from the displayed menu.
The Grid control toggles between enabling and disabling the grid.
The Graph Slider control toggles between enabling and disabling the graph slider.
When enabled, an inverted triangle appears above the graph. You can move this slider
by simply dragging it with the mouse left button to the desired location.
The Statistics Selector controls select which bridge port statistics will be displayed on
the screen. To select for a particular control, click the respective down-arrow button. A
list appears with the following options: Set Color, No Selection, Input Frames, Output
Frames, and Discard Frames. The first option allows you to set the line and word
colors; No Selection means no graph will be displayed for this particular control; the
last three are the available bridge port statistics. The label on each control reflects your
choice.
