Monitoring Device Information on the Dashboard

The Dashboard, which is the first page that appears after you log in to the Web Management Interface (Main UI), provides a snapshot of the current details for the ICX device or group of ICX devices connected together. The Dashboard provides a centralized monitoring pane for the ICX device and displays the operational status and statistics.
Note: The figures included in this guide for illustrative purposes only. The ports panel and port speed vary with different ICX models.

By default, the Dashboard displays the Ports panel. In the upper-right corner of the panel, click Chassis to switch to the Chassis panel and click Ports to switch to the Ports panel.

The following table lists the infographic elements of the Dashboard that provide the basic device information and its operational status and statistics.

Dashboard Elements

Dashboard Element Description
SWITCH INFORMATION Displays the following device information:
  • Model: Displays the ICX model details.
  • MAC: Displays the MAC address of the device.
  • Serial No: Displays the serial number of the device.
  • IP Address: Displays the IP address which is used to access the device by way of web management.
  • Firmware Version: Displays the firmware version number.
  • Gateway IP: Displays the gateway IP address.
STACK Appears only when the ICX devices are in a stack configuration and displays the total number of units in the stack.

The numbers displayed within each color-coded box indicate the unit IDs.

The color code represents the role of each unit:

  • Green: Represents an active unit.
  • Blue: Represents a member unit.
  • Red: Represents a standby unit.

PORTS Displays the ports in a unit and their capabilities.

The number above or below each port indicates the port number.

The color code represents different port speeds; all visible color coding is defined in the bottom-right corner of the PORTS panel.

The icon on the ports indicates detected Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports.

CHASSIS Displays the following chassis information:

  • Power Supply: Displays the total number of power supply connectors and their status. The following color code represents their status:
    • Green: Power supply is up.
    • Grey: Power supply is not present.
    • Red: Power supply failure.

    The icon on the ports indicates detected Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports.

  • Fan Status: Displays the total number of cooling fans and their status. The following color code represents their status:
    • Green: Fan is up.
    • Grey: Fan is not present.
    • Red: Fan is failure.
    Note: If a fan is not present, the fan status will be "NO FAN".

  • Temperature: Displays the current internal temperature of the chassis. The following color code indicates the thermal health of the device:
    • Green: Temperature is within the normal operating range.
    • Orange: Temperature has reached the warning level.
    • Yellow: Temperature has reached the shutdown level.
PORT DISTRIBUTION Displays the total number of ports per unit; also displays the breakdown of the port count based on the operational status (up, down, and disable).
PoE UTILIZATION Displays the total number of watts available for consumption; also displays the breakdown of consumed and free power per unit.
AVERAGE CPU UTILIZATION Displays the percentage of CPU being used by the device at 5-second, 1-minute, and 300-second intervals.
MEMORY USAGE Displays the percentage of total memory currently in use; also displays (in megabytes) the total amount of dynamic memory and the remaining amount of free memory.
