About IP Performance Manager
IP Performance Manager
Knowing the health of the
network objects in your network is crucial to ensuring optimum network
performance. Constant monitoring, especially of critical ports in
the network, is necessary to detect when performance deteriorates
so that you can take appropriate corrective action.
IP Performance Manager
monitors
the performance of Layer 2 and Layer 3 network objects in switched
and routed networks, and automates the analysis of faults using performance
thresholds. Faults can occur in systems (switches, routers, hubs,
bridges, and hosts) and in network adapters (ports and interfaces).
When a performance threshold is exceeded, IP Performance Manager
generates
a system-level exception notification.Thresholds
can be set in the Polling and Thresholds tab in the Domain Manager
Administration Console. The
provides
information on how to set thresholds.
For example, when
a particular network adapter exceeds the ErrorThreshold,
IP Performance Manager
notifies
HighErrorRate fault for network adapter and generates an ErrorException
for the system that contains the network adapter. In addition, if
the network adapter is a member of a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN), IP Performance Manager
also
generates the exception notification at the VLAN level.
