To run a Port Bandwidth Capacity Planning Trend report
The Port Bandwidth Capacity Planning Trend report provides a management-level summary of port utilization for the selected View. The report provides details on port utilization %, mean, percentile, trend and mean traffic rate over the reporting period.
Port Bandwidth Capacity Planning Trend report details:
The report contains a table that highlights devices with port utilization in warning and critical states. You can configure the definition of warning and critical states. A critical state indicates a potential capacity problem.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Device Name | resolved name or the IP address of the device. |
Port Description | description of the port. This is also a hyperlink to the Port Utilization Details report. |
In/out Util% mean | mean inbound and outbound port utilization over the reporting period for the port. |
In/out (Mbps) Rate mean | rate of inbound and outbound traffic for the port, over the reporting period. |
n/out Util% 95th percentile | indicates the 95th percentile of inbound and outbound utilization values over the reporting period, as a % of inbound and outbound resource respectively. |
In/out Util% 6 month predicted | predicts inbound and outbound port utilization in 6 months' time, as a % of inbound and outbound capacity respectively. Click on a value to run the Port Utilization Trend report within the context of the selected port. |

- Specify the % threshold for mean average hourly port bandwidth utilization, above which utilization is considered to be in a warning state (and when it is equal to or below the critical threshold) in the Warning Threshold (%) field. The default value is 50.
- Specify the % threshold for mean average hourly port bandwidth utilization, above which utilization is considered to be in a critical state in the Critical Threshold (%) field.
- Tick the Only list devices in a Critical State box if you want to only include to the report devices in a critical state. By default, it is not ticked.
- ENA v17.0 P08 upwards - tick the Include virtual ports box if you want to include virtual ports to the report. By default, this is not ticked, meaning that only physical ports would be included to the report.
