Message Transmit Interval

Setting Description Factory Default

5 to 32768 sec. Sets the transmit interval of LLDP messages, in seconds. 30 (seconds)

LLDP Table

The LLDP Table displays the following information:

Port The port number that connects to the neighbor device.

Neighbor ID A unique entity (typically the MAC address) that identifies a neighbor device.

Neighbor Port The port number of the neighbor device.

Neighbor Port Description A textual description of the neighbor device’s interface.

Neighbor System Hostname of the neighbor device.

Using Monitor

You can monitor statistics in real time from the Moxa switch’s web console and serial console.

Monitor by Switch

Access the Monitor by selecting System from the left selection bar. Monitor by System allows the user to view

a graph that shows the combined data transmission activity of all of the Moxa switch’s 18 ports. Click one of the

four options—Total Packets, TX Packets, RX Packets, or Error Packets—to view transmission activity of

specific types of packets. Recall that TX Packets are packets sent out from the Moxa switch, RX Packets are

packets received from connected devices, and Error Packets are packets that did not pass TCP/IP’s error

checking algorithm. The Total Packets option displays a graph that combines TX, RX, and TX Error, RX Error

Packets activity. The graph displays data transmission activity by showing Packets/s (i.e., packets per second,

or pps) versus sec. (seconds). In fact, three curves are displayed on the same graph: Uni-cast packets (in red

color), Multi-cast packets (in green color), and Broad-cast packets (in blue color). The graph is updated

every few seconds, allowing the user to analyze data transmission activity in real-time.
