Using the 7C0x SmartSwitch Bridge View

Each port shows the total frames transmitted and received by the port.

Port summary information includes Port Index (at the top of the Bridge Port box), Port Status, Bridge Port State, and Frames Forwarded. You can display Frames Forwarded as a delta value (the total number of frames forwarded by this bridge port to any other port on the bridge during the last polling interval) or as a percentage value (showing the percentage of all frames received by the port from its attached network segment during the last polling interval that were forwarded to another port on the bridge) by clicking the Delta/Percentage button at the bottom of the window (see Figure 6-3).

Each corner of the bridge port summarizes activity to another bridge port. You can display Forwarded To as a delta value (the total number of frames forwarded by this bridge port to the specified port on the bridge during the last polling interval) or as a percentage value (showing the percentage of all frames received by the port during the last polling interval that were forwarded to the specified port on the bridge) by clicking the Delta/Percentage button at the bottom of the window (see Figure 6-3).
