T5 Interface Ethernet Utilization

About this task

T5 controller Ethernet ports can have be reviewed to assess link utilization efficiency.

T5 controllers have the following Ethernet port designations:
  • T5- ge1-ge2, fe1-fe2 (for up to 24 CPE devices managed by a T5 controller).

To view T5 controller Ethernet port link status:

Procedure

  1. Select the Statistics menu from the Web UI.
  2. Select the Wireless Controller node from the left navigation pane and select a T5 controller from amongst those displayed.
  3. Select Interface from the left-hand side of the UI and expand it to display it sub menu items.
  4. Select the Utilization tab.
    Review the following T5 controller Ethernet port status:
    Name Displays the name of the selected T5 controller's ge Ethernet port.
    Rx (Kpbs) Displays the listed T5 controller ge Ethernet port receive data rate (in Kbps).
    RX (p/s) Lists a packet per second Ethernet port receive rate.
    Rx Utilization (%) Lists each port's receive direction utilization as a percentage of available receive bandwidth available.
    Tx (Kbps) Displays the listed T5 controller Ethernet port transmit data rate (in Kbps).
    Tx (p/s) Lists a packet per second Ethernet port transmit rate.
    Tx Utilization (%) Lists each port's transmit direction utilization as a percentage of available transmit bandwidth available.
  5. Select Refresh to update the screen's statistics counters to their latest values.
