Monitoring the Status of Standalone Switches
When you select a switch from the network tree in any view, a dashboard comprising four monitors display that give at-a-glance information about the status and performance information of the switch.
To locate the monitors for switches:
- Click Monitor in the Network Director banner to ensure that you are in Monitor mode.
- Expand the network tree to expose the switch node.
- Select the switch in the network tree.
- Click the Equipment tab to expose the four monitors and to update the tasks that are available for the switch.
The four monitors are:
- Resource Utilization Monitor for Switches and Virtual Chassis, that provides a graphical representation of CPU usage and memory consumption.
- Status Monitor for Switches, that provides information about the uptime, IP address, and hostname of the switch.
- Port Status Monitor, that provides port level status information.
- Power Supply and Fan Status Monitor, that provides a graphical representation of the operating condition for the units. These graphs also show the ratio of filled slots to available power and fan bays.
