Interface Performance Statistics/Bar Graphs

The statistical values (and, where available, the accompanying bar graphs) in the far-right columns of the I/F Summary window provide a quick summary of interface performance. You can select the statistical value you want to display and the units in which you want those values displayed by using the two menu Þelds directly above the interface display area, as follows:

1.In the right-most menu field, click on the down arrow and select the unit in which you wish to display the selected statistic: Load, Raw Counts, or Rate.

NOTE

Bar graphs are only available when Load is the selected base unit; if you select Raw Counts or Rate, the Bar Graph column will be removed from the interface display.

2.Once you have selected the base unit, click on the down arrow in the left-most field to specify the statistic you’d like to display. Note that the options available from this menu will vary depending on the base unit you have selected.

After you select a new display mode, the statistics (and graphs, where applicable) will refresh to reßect the current choice, as described below.

Raw Counts

The total count of network trafÞc received or transmitted on the indicated interface since device counters were last reset. Raw counts are provided for the following parameters:

In Octets	Octets received on the interface, including framing
	characters.
In Packets	Packets (both unicast and non-unicast) received by the
	device interface and delivered to a higher-layer protocol.
In Discards	Packets received by the device interface that were
	discarded even though no errors prevented them from
	being delivered to a higher layer protocol (e.g., to free up
	buffer space in the device).
