Monitor Chassis-Level Information
The chassis view, present at the top of the Device-Name page, displays the device model and the switch ports in a graphical format.
For a Virtual Chassis (VC), the members are displayed on the left side of the chassis view. You can click on a member device to view its ports.
The chassis view is refreshed after every 60 seconds.
The ports on the chassis view are color coded depending on the admin and link statuses:
Green—If the admin status and link status are up.
Red—If the admin status is up and the link status is down.
Dark Gray—If the admin status and link status are down.
Light Gray—If the port is not configured as part of any LAN segment.
You can hover over a port on the chassis view to view general information (such as administrative status, link status, and link mode) about the port.
Table 1 describes the port details that you can see on the chassis view.
Table 1: Port Details Displayed on Chassis View
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Admin Status | Indicates whether the administrative status of the port is up (Up) or down (Down): The ports are color-coded to indicate the administrative status:
|
Link Status | Indicates whether the operational status of the connection with a peer port is up (Up) or down (Down). The ports are color-coded to indicate the administrative status:
|
Port Mode | Indicates the mode in which the port operates:
|
Link Mode | Mode in which the link to the port operates—Half-duplex or Full-duplex. |
Power Consumption | Power consumed by the port, in watts (W). |
PoE Status | Indicates whether the port is configured to transmit electrical power through an Ethernet cable (ON) or not (OFF). |
Negotiated Speed | Current negotiated speed (in Kbps, Mbps, and Gbps) of the port. |
VLAN | ID of the VLAN configured on the port. |
Input Bandwidth Utilization | Bandwidth (in %) consumed by the incoming packets on the port. |
Output Bandwidth Utilization | Bandwidth (in %) consumed by the outgoing packets on the port. |
Input Drops | Number of incoming packets dropped by the port due to congestion. |
Output Drops | Number of outgoing packets dropped by the port due to congestion. |
Input Errors | Number of errors in the incoming packets. |
Output Errors | Number of errors in the outgoing packets. |
Monitor System Health
Table 2 describes the system meters available on the chassis view.
The UI is refreshed once every 30 seconds while the CSO database polls the devices every five minutes. So, it may take up to five minutes for the statistics to be updated.
Table 2: System Meters on the Chassis View Dashlet
System Meter | Description |
|---|---|
CPU | Displays the percentage of CPU utilized by users, system, background processes, interrupts, and the percentage of time the CPU was idle; see Figure 2.  For a VC, the CPU meter is displayed only for the primary member. |
Memory | Memory (in %) utilized in the switch; see Figure 3  For a VC, memory is displayed only for the primary member. |
Storage | Storage space (in %) allocated to the logical partitions of the switch. Figure 4 shows the storage meter for a VC, while Figure 5 shows the storage meter for a physical device.   |
Fan | Details of the fan present on the switch; see Figure 6.  For a VC, FAN is displayed only for the primary member. |
Temperature | Temperature of the components in the available FPC; see Figure 7.  |
LEDs | Severity level of the Alarms, System, and Primary LEDs; see Figure 8.  |
Power | Details of the switch power supplies; see Figure 9.  |
