ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for generating a display containing information about both the local and remote traffic handled by an integrated router/hub is provided. An integrated router/hub routes local messages between devices on a first local area network, and routes remote messages between the first local area network and a second local area network. The integrated router/hub stores a first set of values related to the local messages, and a second set of values related to the remote messages. A network management station executes a network management application the includes instructions which cause the network management station to generate a display of the information stored in the integrated router/hub. In response to user input, the network management station requests the information from the integrated router/hub, receives the information from the integrated router/hub, and generates the display of the information. The display may include charts that illustrate statistics derived from the information.
