Viewing Port Utilization

Port utilization measures the amount of traffic passing through a port over a period of time. For example,
if an initiator is transmitting data to a target, the initiator port displays a port utilization value (%) while the
target port does not. If the same initiator is receiving data from the target, the target port displays a port
utilization value (%) while the initiator port displays does not.

The Port Utilization page displays each port’s utilization percentage based on high, average, and low
utilization.

To change the port utilization interval:

Click Advanced Functions > Thresholds > Switch. See

“Adjusting the Switch Thresholds” on

page 29

for additional information.

To view port utilization:

Click Port > Utilization.

The Port Utilization page appears.
