Interfaces

The Admin > Resources > Interfaces page is used to manage interface settings for flow-exporting devices in the Plixer Scrutinizer environment.

The page’s main view/table lists the following details for each device instance (if available or configured):

  • Configured name, IP address, or hostname of the device

  • Instance name

  • Custom description

  • ifAlias

  • ifName

  • ifDescr

  • ifSpeed

  • Custom inbound interface speed

  • Custom outbound interface speed

  • Metering directionality

The page’s Options tray also includes additional toggles to show/hide inactive interfaces and make hidden interfaces visible.

Note

  • Select Information in the three-dot menu to view basic details for a device. Selecting Summary of Device opens the Admin > Resources > Exporters view filtered on the device.

  • To change what details are displayed in the table, click the Available Columns button and select the columns to display.

  • Custom descriptions and interface speeds are only used by Plixer Scrutinizer (displaying utilization, threshold alerts, etc.). They are not applied to the device.

Interface Settings

Clicking on an instance name opens a settings tray where the following details can be configured for the interface:

  • Custom description

  • Custom inbound speed

  • Custom outbound speed

  • Hide/show setting

  • SNMP credentials

To hide an instance in the UI, select Yes in the Hidden dropdown or tick the Hide checkbox in the main view. These instances can be made visible by toggling on Show interfaces hidden in the UI in the Options tray.

Hint

The above settings can also be applied to multiple interfaces by selecting the instances in the main view and making the configuration changes in the Bulk Actions tray.
