This chapter provides an overview of the functionality of the Cabletron Systems
CyberMONITOR.
CyberMONITOR Overview
About The CyberMONITOR
The Cabletron Systems CyberMONITOR is a Wide Area Network Monitoring system. The
CyberMONITOR polls status conditions, and monitors network traffic and bandwidth utilization
of WAN (Wide Area Network) devices. The CyberMONITOR compiles this data and status
information, and reports these statistics graphically. The data can be printed.
The CyberMONITOR has provision for adjusting the polling rates, and presetting start and stop
times of any monitoring session. The devices to be monitored are selected by entering their IP
(Internet Protocol) address and Community Name into a window prior to starting a monitoring
session. The CyberMONITOR then locates and accesses the device to be monitored.
An Alarms panel lets you set threshold conditions for aggregate percentages of bandwidth and
aggregate errors for each Network Port Interface. The two alarm levels, Warning, and Critical,
cause Network Port Interface monitoring panels on the Primary Monitor window to change color
to yellow and red if bandwidth or errors exceeds the alarm levels that you preset.
Graphical User Interface
The CyberMONITOR employs a graphical user interface, simplifying the process of selecting
devices, ports, etc., to monitor. The Primary Monitor Window (
Network Port Interfaces, and Wide Area Network port interfaces (Wide Area 1, 2 shown) in the
device that you are monitoring, as panels. The status conditions (i.e., bandwidth utilization and
error statistics) of each port are also shown in each panel.
Functions such as Inverse Multiplexing, Bridging, IP Routing, IPX Routing, etc. will be shown
(with relevant statistics) at the bottom of the Primary Monitor Window as separate panels, when
these functions are enabled.

Port Interface Icons
Figure 1 shows the Primary Monitor Window representing a CSX400 CyberSWITCH. The
Primary Monitor Window displays two Ethernet Port icons, and two Wide Area port icons under
the title bar. These icons represent Ethernet port 1, Ethernet port 2, and two Wide Area Port
Interfaces - designated Wide Area 1 ISDN, and Wide Area 2 DI.

CyberMONITOR Overview
Port Interface Stats Panels
The Ethernet Ports are represented by the Ethernet 1, and Ethernet 2 Port panels. The Wide Area 1,
and Wide Area 2 panels show ISDN transmission mode, and Drop and Insert (DI) mode, no
protocol set. Inside each panel are the statistics for Bandwidth Utilization for Transmit (Tx) and
Receive (Rx), and error statistics for these ports. The panels are typical of the Ethernet and Wide
Area interfaces installed in devices being monitored.
At the bottom of the Primary Monitor Window is a panel indicating any special functions being
employed by the device. In this instance, Bridging is being employed on the two Wide Area
network interfaces. Discards from the bridging function are shown as a percentage of the total
traffic. Other functions that might be employed such as IP Routing, and IPX Routing, etc., will
also be represented by a panel (bottom of the options window) similar to the one in
Figure 2-1
.
Primary Monitor Window Function Menu
There are five menu items at the top of the Primary Monitor Window. A brief description of the
function of each menu item follows:
• File
• Tables
• Custom menu - This menu displays the Bandwidth Thr esholds, or Errors Thr esholds
• Traps menu - This menu displays the Configure Traps, and View Traps menu items. The
