Using Subnets graphs

Using Subnets graphs

Subnets graphs show the inbound and outbound ingress and egress traffic for individual SPP Protection Subnets. Use these graphs to observe specific traffic to a Protection Subnet. Since Protection Subnets can be configured from a single IP to a large subnet, considerable flexibility is offered to see traffic patterns and attacks to protected devices. No drops are shown on these graphs, but divergence of the green and blue graph lines will clearly show attack events.

The Subnets graph includes the following graphs:

  • Inbound or Outbound Ingress and Egress traffic in:
    • Packets - Throughput in packets per second.
    • Bits - Throughput in bits per second.

You can further customize the graph view by: SPP, Protection Subnet within the SPP, Reporting Period and Linear or Logarithmic Y-Axis.

Before you begin:

  • You must have Read permission for the Monitor menu.
  • Refer to Reading Monitor graphs to understand the graphs in detail.
To display the graphs:
  1. Go to Monitor > Subnets
  2. Select the SPP from the drop-down menu.
  3. Select the Protection Subnet from the drop-down menu.
  4. Select other parameters as desired.
