OSA-Express3/4S Port Throughput Detail workspace

The OSA-Express3/4S 10 Gigabit Port Throughput Detail workspace displays performance data for the OSA-Express3/4S Ethernet adapters. The OSA-Express3/4S Port Throughput Detail workspace is accessed only as a drill down from the OSA-Express3/4S Ports Summary workspace using Channel Number and Port Number as link attributes.

To display the OSA-Express3/4S Port Throughput Detail workspace, do the following:

  1. Click the OSA navigator item for a specific TCP/IP stack to display the OSA Channels workspace.
  2. If the value for the OSA channel Subtype attribute in the OSA-Express Channels Summary table is osaexp3gigabitEthernet, osaexp3oneThousandBaseTEthernet, or osaexp3tenGigabitEthernet, right-click the Link icon by this table row.
  3. Select OSA-Express3/4S Ports to display the OSA-Express3/4S Ports Summary workspace.
  4. Right-click on the Link icon by one of the rows in the Ports Summary for Channel xyz Summary table and select OSA-Express3/4S Port Throughput Detail.

The OSA-Express3/4S Port Throughput Detail workspace contains the following views:

  • Current Broadcast Packets: Displays the number of broadcast packets received or broadcast packets transmitted by the specified port over the current collection interval. The information is presented in a bar graph where:
    • Yellow represents the number of broadcast packets received over the current collection period.
    • Blue represents the number of broadcast packets transmitted over the current collection period.
    This data applies to a port selected from the OSA-Express3/4S Ports Summary workspace.
  • Current Multicast Packets: Displays the number of multicast packets received or multicast packets transmitted by the specified port over the current collection interval. The information is presented in a bar graph where:
    • Yellow represents the number of multicast packets received over the current collection period.
    • Blue represents the number of multicast packets transmitted over the current collection period.
    This data applies to a port selected from the OSA-Express3/4S Ports Summary workspace.
  • Current 64 Byte Packets: Displays the number of packets received or transmitted by the specified port over the current collection interval that are exactly 64 bytes in length. The information is presented in a bar graph where:
    • Yellow represents the number of 64 byte packets received over the current collection period.
    • Blue represents the number of 64 byte packets transmitted over the current collection period.
    This data applies to a port selected from the OSA-Express3/4S Ports Summary workspace.
  • Current 1024toMax Byte Packets: Displays the number of packets received or transmitted by the specified port over the current collection interval that are 1024 bytes or greater in length. The information is presented in a bar graph where:
    • Yellow represents the number of 1024toMax byte packets received over the current collection period.
    • Blue represents the number of 1024toMax byte packets transmitted over the current collection period.
    This data applies to a port selected from the OSA-Express3/4S Ports Summary workspace.
  • Port Throughput Detail for Port Number abc and Channel xyz Summary table: Provides OSA-Express3/4S throughput data for the specified port number and channel, where abc is the selected port number link attribute and xyz is the selected channel number link attribute.
