Bandwidth Utilization Graph
The Bandwidth Utilization graph shows the same information as the Bandwidth
Used gauge on the Dashboard, except that the graph can show bandwidth usage
patterns over incremental instances in time (by 60 seconds, 60 minutes, 24 hours,
or 14 days). This graph also marks the highest peak reached. The default is 60
seconds.
If you see sharp increases in switch usage, use this graph to determine when
unusual peaks in network usage occur. For more information about bandwidth
usage, see the “Bandwidth Used Gauge” section on page 4-10.
