Switch Port Statistics screen

As well as showing statistics for the port, this screen allows you access

to traffic and error counter screens.

The Port Statistics screen shows the followi ng:

Port ID

The ID of the port you are currently managing.

Bandwidth Used

This counter provides a running average of the

occupied bandwidth and is expressed as a percentage of the

theoretical maximum bandwidth available. A sampling period of 1

minute is used. The value gives an indication of the general traffic level

of the network. A high utilization for single station seg ments is an

indication that your network is operating efficiently. However, if

multiple end-stations are connected to this port and you see values of

around 40% you should reconsider the topology of your network

because each user will see degraded network performance.
