Review a Broadband Network Interface

You can review settings for a broadband network interface on a Cloud Connector's Network tab. Some values may be editable.

Tab Overview

When you choose a broadband interface on the network tab, Oracle ECP shows the following graphs:

• Broadband interface bandwidth rate - This graph displays transmitted and received bandwidth over time, in both bits per second (Throughput) and packets per second (Packets). The default display is the last 30 minutes, which can be changed with the period drop-down located above the graph.
  • Latency is also available on this graph by selecting Latency from the drop-down menu, which shows locally-reported latency for this WAN interface.
• Bandwidth Distribution Chart - This chart displays the bandwidth allocation for the broadband network interface by User Apps, Control Channel, and Devices.
• Bandwidth Performance Test Graph - If a bandwidth performance test ran during the selected period, this graph displays the download and upload rates over time. The x-axis shows time, and the y-axis shows speed.

Context

From the Network tab, choose an option that lets you check or update a broadband network interface.
