6STATUS MONITORING AND STATISTICS
This chapter describes how to view the current
operating status of the Switch 1000, how to dis-
play any error information in a fault log and how
to carry out a remote poll to check the response of
another network device.
It also describes the Statistics screens for the Switch
1000, and advises you on actions to take if you see
unexpected values for the statistics. Please note
however, that as all networks are different, any
actions listed are only recommendations.
Viewing statistics on a regular basis allows you to
see how well your network is performing. If you
keep simple daily records, you will see trends emerg-
ing and notice problems arising before they cause
major network faults. This way, statistics can also
help you get the best out of your network.
