Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold User Guide
Using the Web Task Manager - Interfaces tab
The Interfaces tab provides information about the interfaces available on a selected device
that WhatsUp Gold is monitoring. This information helps you determine how much data is
transmitted and received via each interface, and therefore may help you locate an interface
that using an unexpected amount of bandwidth.
After you have identified the interface that is causing bandwidth performance issues, such as
a file sharing application exposing shared files on a computer for others on the Internet to
access and download, you can correct the problem to bring the device performance back to
normal.
The Web Task Manager includes the following columns:
Description. This column is the text description of the interface as configured on the
device.
Index. This column is the unique numerical indentifier of the interface as defined on
the device.
Transmit %. This column indicates what percentage of the interface's capacity is
currently being used to transmit data.
