System Capacity

The System Capacity card displays a summary of the utilization of switch resources such as ARP entries, unicast routes, multicast routes, MAC address, and IPv6 neighbor.

The following image displays the System Capacity card of a switch.

The expanded System Capacity card displays the following graphs. You can hover over the graph to view the tool tip that displays the values at a specific point of date and time.

  • Unicast Routes—Displays the trend chart for the unicast routes. Hover over the chart to view the utilization of unicast routes over a specific period of time.

  • MAC Address—Displays the trend chart for the MAC address count. Hover over the chart to view the utilization of MAC address table over a specific period of time.

  • ARP—Displays the trend chart for the ARP entries. Hover over the chart to view the utilization of ARP entries over a specific period of time.

  • IPv6 Neighbor—Displays the trend chart for the IPv6 neighbor entries. Hover over the chart to view the utilization of IPv6 neighbor entries over a specific period of time.

  • Multicast Routes—Displays the trend chart for the multicast routes. Hover over the chart to view the utilization of multicast routes over a specific period of time.

  • CoPP Counter—Displays the trend chart for the CoPP counter. Hover over the chart to view the count of packets passed and packets dropped. The packets passed and dropped counts in the trend chart represent the difference in values for every consecutive five-minute interval.

  • CPU Utilization—Displays the trend chart for the average CPU utilization. Hover over the chart to view the average CPU utilization at a specific point in time along with the baseline value. For a stack, the chart displays the average CPU utilization of the conductor.

  • Memory Utilization—Displays the trend chart for the average memory utilization. Hover over the chart to view the average memory utilization at a specific point in time along with the baseline value. For a stack, the chart displays the average memory utilization of the conductor.
