What type of monitoring can be used to check switch performance in an AOS-CX environment?

In an AOS-CX environment, using network analysis and performance monitoring tools enables comprehensive tracking of switch performance. These tools provide insights into various performance metrics, such as throughput, latency, packet loss, and error rates. By utilizing such tools, network administrators can monitor the overall health of the network, pinpoint performance bottlenecks, and make informed decisions about capacity planning and troubleshooting.

Network analysis tools often offer rich features, such as real-time dashboards, historical data analysis, alerts, and reports, which are essential for maintaining optimal network performance. This proactive approach is crucial in modern networking environments where uptime and efficiency are paramount.

In contrast, other options are limited in scope. Packet sniffing and inspection tools provide valuable information about specific packets traversing the network but may not give a complete picture of the switch's overall performance. Log file inspection can help identify issues based on historical data but does not facilitate real-time monitoring or proactive management of network performance. Finally, relying solely on manual checking of LED indicators on devices is not practical for assessing the comprehensive performance of switches, as it only offers a rudimentary indication of device status without detailed metrics. Therefore, the most effective method for monitoring switch performance in an AOS-CX environment is through advanced network analysis and
