Monitoring Bandwidth

Traverse automatically detects all active network interfaces on all IP devices using SNMP. It detects the link bandwidth and automatically displays the line utilization as a percentage and traffic in Kbps.

1. Log in as traverse. The default password is traverse.
2. Navigate to Administration > Devices > Create a Device.
3. Select the appropriate device type, and enter the proper SNMP community ID for the router or switch.
4. On the Available Test Types page, select the SNMP check box, click Add Tests, and click Continue on the next page.
5. The system automatically discovers and displays all available tests on the device (including all available bandwidth tests). Select the tests that you want to monitor.

Traverse automatically schedules the provisioned tests. You can then go back to Status and click on the device and the test name to get traffic statistics. Traverse can display trend analysis as well as historical data for up to a year.
