Chapter 3
Switch Statistics displays information using different types of graphs:
•Gauges that show error packets and capacity.
•A pie chart that shows the ratio of Unicast, Broadcast, and Multicast packets.
•A pie chart that shows the ratio of packets by priority.
•A traffic graph section that contains line graphs describing the characteristics of the traffic traveling through the switch.
The title of the Switch Statistics window displays the Device IP Address.
The gauges, pie charts, and bar graph show data for the latest time currently visible on the traffic graph. For more information, refer to “Viewing the Switch Statistics Traffic Graph” on page 19.
You can use the gauges, pie charts, and traffic graph to view data from an earlier point in time by scrolling the traffic graph. For more information about modifying the display, refer to “Using the Options Dialog Box” on page 74. For more information on the available toolbar, status bar, and mouse movement options, refer to “Working with Device SMON Tools” on page 14.
