This chapter describes how to view the current operating status of the
Switch 1005 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 1005, and advises you on actions to take if you see
unexpected values for the sta tistics. Please note however, that as all
networks are different, any actions listed are only su ggestions.
Viewing statistics on a regular basis allow s you to see how well your
network is performing. If you keep simple daily records, you will see
trends emerging and notice problems arising before they cause major
network faults. Statistics can also help you get the best out of your
network.
