Open an Interface Report: Group Tab

You can locate and select an interface by using the Group tab in the Interface Index. The Group tab shows the groups organized in a tree. The tree can help you locate a specific interface, especially when in an enterprise that has large numbers of routers and interfaces.

Note: The Group tab appears only if the product is registered as a data source for Performance Center. If the product is not registered, the Interface tab appears in place of the Group tab.

Follow these steps:

1. Select Interfaces in the NFA console menu, if the Interface Index page is not already visible.

   The Interfaces page opens and shows the Interface Index. This is the first page that you see when you log in to the NFA console.

2. Click the Group tab.

   The group tree is displayed in the left pane.

3. Locate the interface that interests you. Use any of the following options to locate the interface:
   • Click the group that interests you.

     To expand the contents of a high-level group, click its arrow icon. For example, you could click the Inventory group or expand the Inventory group and select a domain sub-group.

     If the selected group or its sub-groups contain interfaces, the list of the interfaces opens in the right pane.

   • Sort by Column Heading: Click a column heading to re-sort the list. The entire list is sorted, not just the items on the current page.
   • Filter by: Click a ‘Filter by’ option to display active, inactive, or all interfaces.
   • Search: Search for whole or partial text strings. Searching filters the list to show only the entries that have an Interface or Description column value that matches your search term.
   • Max per Page: Change the Max per Page setting to show more routers and interfaces on each page.
4. Click the interface that interests you.

   An Interface Overview report page opens, which displays data for the selected interface.

5. (Optional) Change the format or type of data displayed in the report:
   1. Click the gray bar on the left.

      The Presentation menu opens.

   2. Select the desired display and metric options, as described in Set the Presentation Options.
   3. (Optional) Click the bar again to hide the menu.

Interface Tab

The Interface tab displays a list of the available interfaces in an alphanumerically sorted list. By default, 10 interfaces are shown on each page. To re-sort the table data, click a column heading.
