Comparing the traffic graphs to the meters can often point you in the right direction for locating a problem. For example, the pie chart may show an abnormal amount of non-unicast packets, while the bandwidth usage shown in the traffic graph has increased significantly. This may suggest that one of the stations attached to the switch is generating the non-unicast packets. By using VLAN Statistics you can locate the VLAN where the problem originates. By using Port Statistics you can locate the port to which the suspected station is attached.

*Note: All counters are in packets except counters that measure bandwidth, which are in kilobits (Kbps), and utilization, which is a percentage.
