last time the switch was powered on or since the last reset of the switch was executed.
To display information about IP statistics and errors, enter the following command:

The Omni Switch/Router (OmniS/R) includes fastpath code that enhances the speed of IP
routing. Fastpath statistics are included on the IP Statistics and Errors screen:
