The Allegro Network Multimeter allows for defining up to 16 so called Virtual Link Groups to logically separatetraffic for easier analysis. The groups can be selected in the web interface in the top menu bar.
The configurationcan be performed in the settings section.
The following criteria can be used for defining groups:
- Interface ids
- VLAN tags
- MPLS labels
A group can contain several entries of the same criterion that form an OR connection.
Different criteria form an AND connection.
E.g. it is possible to define a group with interface id 3 or id 4 and VLAN tag 400. Don’t forget to push the add button when configuring entries of a criterion. Once a group is defined or changed it will be applied on new packets only. Older packets will not be grouped into a new group. To avoid confusion, it is recommended to restart the processing (see Settings). A packet can only be part of one group. It will be grouped into the first group whose definition matches. The grouping will be applied in the same order as shown in the group list in the web interface. You can use the up and down buttons in the settings section to change that order. All statistics in the Allegro Network Multimeter will show information related to the selected group only. Interface graphs, total traffic graph on the dashboard and the burst analysis module will, however, show global information and ignore the group selection. 3.8.1 Traffic color settings A group can be configured so that all traffic counters are displayed in a utilization color. Traffic values below medium will be displayed in green, values above medium will be displayed in yellow and value above high will be displayed in red. The thresholds for medium and high can be configured in Mbit/s. The default settings are
- medium 800 Mbit/s
- high 950 Mbit/s
