Switches, Routers, and Firewalls views

Purpose
The Switches, Routers, and Firewalls views each display a list of the existing switches and routers, and indicate their alarm state.
Figure 60. Switches, Routers, and Firewalls views
Selecting the All Switches, All Routers, or All Firewalls entry displays overall resource utilization for all devices of the selected type (switches or routers), and identifies the devices that consume the highest amount of system resources in the Summary views appearing on the right. Selecting an individual switch or router displays device-specific metrics in the NMS Switch, NMS Router and NMS Firewall views on the right.
 
* 
TIP: If your environment includes a large number of switches, use the Search filter located above the list to look for a device based on its name.
How to Get Here
•
On the Infrastructure Environment dashboard, select the Network, Firewall, Switch, or Router service, and then click the Firewall, Switch, or Router tile.

Service Operations Console and Dependency Mapping Views

This section describes the views accessible from the Service Operations Console dashboard:
•
Device Details Summary tab
•
Network Device tile

Device Details Summary tab

Purpose
The Summary tab in the device dialog box shows a series of charts displaying the monitoring statistics of the selected device. This can give you a better idea of how the selected device is performing and gives indicators about potential performance problems, if they exist. For example, a high network or CPU utilization often suggests high device loads that require further investigation.
