Monitor Device Networking Services
For supported software information, click here.
To monitor networking services that are running on a Versa Operating SystemTM (VOSTM) device:
- In Director view:
- Select the Configuration tab in the top menu bar.
- Select Devices > Devices in the horizontal menu bar.
- Select a device in the main pane. The view changes to Appliance view.
- Select the Monitor tab in the top menu bar.
- Select the provider organization in the left menu bar.
- Select the Services tab in the horizontal menu bar.
The Services tab has the following sections:
- Networking
- Services
This article describes the Networking section on the Services tab.
Networking > Interfaces
Click Interfaces. The screen displays the WAN and LAN interface statistics about the organization associated with the device. The table displays the latest cumulative values at the time of polling after the interface is activated, unless a clear operation is performed. The PPS (packets per second) and BPS (bits per second) counters average out over a maximum of 30 seconds. The PPS and BPS numbers represent the observable rate of a stable flow. For example, if the traffic drops to zero at the 20th second, the value of these averages will drop to zero as well, and will not use the values of the first 20 seconds to calculate the rate.

Eye icon to view interface details.
Power over Ethernet
To monitor Power over Ethernet (PoE) statistics from the Interfaces table:
- In Appliance view, go to Monitor > Provider Organization > Services.
- In the Networking tab, click the Interfaces icon to view the details of the interfaces.
- In the navigation bar, click the
Power over Ethernet icon. The Power over Ethernet interface statistics popup window displays.
To monitor the PoE statistics for an interface, check the following fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Interface Name | Name of the interface. |
| Status |
Status of PoE on the interface:
|
|
Port Voltage |
Voltage on the interface, in millivolts.
|
|
Calculated Current |
Current on the interface, in milliamperes. |
| Power | Amount of power that the interface is supplying to a connected device, in watts. The power is calculated by multiplying the port voltage and the current (power = port voltage x current). |
Networking > Routes
Click Routes. Select the routing instance, for example, Customer1-Control-VR, from the list and select the version of IP address from the list to view the route details:
-
IPv4
-
IPv6
The screen displays the route properties. The data includes the destination prefix, interface name, protocol, age, and next hop.
Networking > BGP
BGP is a standard exterior gateway protocol (EGP) for routing traffic between devices in different autonomous systems (ASs). BGP defines network reachability based on IP prefixes that are part of an AS. In the routing process, connections are established between BGP routers or peers. A policy permitted route is stored in the route information base (RIB).
Click BGP. Select the routing instance, for example, provider-org-Control-VR, to view the BGP details.
Networking > OSPF
OSPF is a dynamic routing protocol that determines routes by obtaining information from routers. It then broadcasts routes to other routers using link-state advertisements (LSAs). The router maintains information about the links that connects them with the destinations and can make very efficient routing decisions. The protocol assigns a cost to every router interface.
Click OSPF. Select the routing instance, for example, Customer2-LAN1-VR, to view the OSPF details for the routing instance.
Networking > OSPFv3
Click OSPFv3. The screen displays OSPFv3 neighbor adjacencies from a specific routing instance.
- Interface view
- Neighbor view
Networking > BFD
Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) detects liveness for BGP peers, OSPF neighbors, and static route next hops. Click BFD. Select the routing instance, for example, Customer1-LAN1-VR, to view the BFD details.
Networking > DHCP Active Leases
DHCP allows network administrators to centrally manage a pool of IP addresses among hosts and automate the assignment of IP addresses in a network. An IP address can be leased to a host for a limited period, allowing the DHCP server to share a limited number of IP addresses among a group of hosts that do not need permanent IP addresses. DHCP provides two primary functions:
- Allocate temporary or permanent IP addresses to clients.
- Store, manage, and provide client configuration parameters.
Click DHCP > Active Leases to display information about active leases.
Networking > DHCP Lease History
Click DHCP > Lease History to displays the lease history.
Networking > DHCP Statistics
Click DHCP > Statistics and then select the DHCP component (Interface, Relay Profile, Service Profile) and DHCP protocol version (DHCP, DHCPv6) to view its DHCP statistics.
Networking > App QoS Policies
App Quality of Service (QoS) is a network feature that allows you to prioritize certain types of Internet traffic which can help to control the bandwidth and service levels of traffic to applications.
Click CoS > App QoS Policies, and then select the policy name, for example, Branch Marking Policy, to view App QoS policy details.
Click a rule name to view its configuration.
Networking > CoS Interfaces
Click CoS > Interfaces to display CoS interface details. The details include the transmitted and received packets, number of transmitted packets per second, number of transmitted packets dropped, number of received packets per second, number of received packets dropped, number of transmitted bytes per second, and the number of bytes dropped in transmission.
Click the Eye icon to view details.
Networking > VRRP
The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is designed to eliminate the single point of failure inherent in the static default routed environment. VRRP uses an election protocol that dynamically assigns responsibility for a virtual router to one of the VRRP routers on a LAN. The VRRP router controlling the IP addresses associated with a virtual router is called the active VRRP router and forwards packets sent to these IP addresses. The election process provides dynamic failover in the forwarding responsibility if the active VRRP router becomes unavailable. Any of the virtual router's IP addresses on a LAN can then be used as the default first-hop router by hosts. The advantage gained from using VRRP is a higher availability default path without requiring configuration of dynamic routing or router discovery protocols on every host.
Click VRRP to display VRRP details.
Networking > LEF
To view log export functionality (LEF) profiles, click LEF. Select the LEF profile, for example, LEF-Collector-log_collector1, and the type of information (Status or Statistics). The screen displays the LEF profile status details. The data includes the source IP, source port, destination IP, destination port, and routing instance.
Networking > ARP
The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) maps an IP address to a hardware’s MAC address. The ARP tab displays associated information of the IP addresses in the organization’s networks, such as, interface name, hardware MAC address, hardware type, etc.
Click ARP and then select a network name to view the ARP data.
Networking > IP SLA
Click IP SLA to display the state, address, routing instance, interval and threshold for configured IP SLA monitors.
Networking > dot1x
IEEE 802.1X is a port-based network access control (PNAC) protocol that provides authentication for devices that want to connect to the network, thus preventing unauthorized network devices from accessing the network. A RADIUS authentication server authenticates each user or device connected to a port before that user or device can access any network services.
Click dot1x and then select the detail level to view the interface information and other statistics.
If you select Brief, the following screen displays, which shows the interface roles as authenticator or supplicant. It provides authenticated supplicant count if the interface role is authenticator and shows the authentication state of the interface that is configured as a supplicant.
If you select Detail, the following screen displays, which shows details about the authenticator and supplicant for each interface. These details include configuration parameters, and authentication and EAP packet statistics. The Detail screen also displays information about the connected supplicant state for the interface that is configured as the authenticator.
If you select Statistics, the following screen displays, which shows per-interface packet statistics.
