Statistics Parameters

Bridge Management statistics provide useful information regarding traffic loading and error conditions. The following commands are used to display, monitor, and clear statistics:

SHOW

MONITOR

CLEAR

These commands are discussed briefly in the following paragraphs. Chapter 4 provides complete description and examples of these commands.

SHOW

The SHOW command displays current bridge attributes. You must use one of the SHOW command parameters to display bridge attributes. Several of the SHOW command parameters have parameters of their own.

Refer to SHOW command section in Chapter 4 for descriptions of all of the SHOW command parameters.

MONITOR

The MONITOR command enables you to periodically display network statistics for the bridge ports based upon the monitor rate that you request. This command offers four options that display screens of statistics similar to the SHOW command option screens.

The MONITOR command option screens are updated (based upon the requested time) to show changes to the bridge as they occur. You may want to use this command to keep a continuous display as to the status of your Bridge Module and network once setup is complete.

Press the [CTRL-C] to discontinue the current MONITOR command and return to the management prompt.
