Using Traffic Monitor
The Traffic Monitor presents real-time information about the status of your
network. When you select Network Traffic, Examine Details from the home page
(or select Traffic Monitor from the Performance button menu), the page displays
five gauges in the top half of the browser window and a histogram in the
bottom half of the window. Each gauge displays the worst measurement in
the entire network for that statistical attribute. The histogram below the
gauges displays the value of an attribute, such as broadcasts/sec, for the
segments in a selected segment group.
