Using Enterprise Overview › Top Interfaces

Top Interfaces

The middle view on the Enterprise Overview page displays the interfaces in your network that are most heavily used for inbound and outbound traffic during the reporting period.

Each bar is identified on the left by its parent router and interface name. By default, a red bar indicates that the interface exceeds a utilization threshold of 75 percent. An orange bar indicates that the interface utilization is less than 75 percent, but has a utilization of at least 50 percent. A green bar indicates that the interface utilization is less than 50 percent.

Note: The Top Interfaces views are similar to the Routers with the Most Flow Traffic view on the Infrastructure Overview dashboard in CA Performance Center. The Most Flow Traffic view in CA Performance Center shows the total traffic rather than only the inbound or outbound traffic for each interface, however.

You can perform the following tasks in the Top Interfaces views:

• Review the information in the graphical display.
• Display a Tooltip with additional details about the interface by holding your cursor over the interface bar or name.

  Tooltips display the parent router name, interface name, interface description, flow volume, flow rate, interface utilization, and inbound speed.

• Drill down to display details on Interface page views by clicking an interface bar or name.

  By default, the Interface page includes the following views: Stacked Protocol Trend In and Out, Stacked ToS Trend In and Out, Host Summary Volume From and To, and Conversation Summary Volume Total.

• Export the view data to a .CSV file.
• Change the utilization thresholds that set the interface bar colors by editing the threshold values in the Interface Utilization view.
