Viewing the Switch interfaces Status and Statistics

The Switch interface tab provides detailed statistics of all the interfaces connected to the Nodegrid device and displays EEPROM information when a transceiver is connected to the SFP interface.

How Users can Benefit from these Detailed Statistics?

Administrators can view the managed switches information to configure and monitor the behavior of switch interfaces and transceiver EEPROM information such as transceiver type, vendor, electrical or optical measurements, part number,  and other specifications. 

Viewing the Detailed SFP and EEPROM Statistics

To view all the detailed SFP Statistics:

1. Log in to your Nodegrid device.

2. Go to Tracking > Network> Switch Interface. All the available interfaces attached to the device are listed on this page. 

3. Click the name of any interface to view the detailed statistics. You can view the following details:

   1. Under Detailed Statistics you can view the following information:

      1.  Interface: The name of the interface.

      2.  Status: If the interface is currently enabled or disabled

      3. Speed: The speed at which data is transmitted or received

      4. Rx Packets: Number of packets received.

      5.  Tx Packets: The number of packets transmitted.

      6.   State: The state of the interface, whether it is up and running or not.

      7. Rx Bytes: The number of bytes received.

      8. Tx Bytes: The number of bytes transmitted.

      9.  Description: The description provided while adding an interface.
         

         

         
         

   2.  SFP Information:  This section is displayed only when there is an EEPROM module connected to the switch.
      For example, if there is a connection issue in a remote site, the Network Administrator can use the transceiver EEPROM data to verify:

      1. If there is a transceiver connected in some interface 

      2. The type of transceiver and the vendor

      3. The electrical and optical measurements if supported by the transceiver
         The following image displays sample data for an SFP EEPROM module captured in the SFP information section:
