Branch Office Perspective report

The Branch Office Perspective report provides a summary of both the last sample and recent health of the network equipment at the selected branch office, so you can quickly disciminate between current and longer-term issues.

This report covers:

• WAN connectivity, including:
  
  • redundancy.
  • load balancing.
  • dial-backup configuration.
• reachability of all devices monitored as part of the branch office View.

This report only includes an SLA quality section when the View includes Cisco IP SLA operations. Where multiple operations are configured for a branch office, their results are listed separately, with drill downs to the IP SLA Details report available for each IP SLA operation.

The Spare Switch Port Summary section covers all the devices in the branch office View that are classified as switches. Here, you can also access the Spare Ports report. A spare port is defined as a physical port that has been continuously operationally down for at least 40 days.
