The Board and Port Statistics windows are the same as the Statistics window displayed in Figure 3-1, except that they display statistics applicable to the selected board or port.

Statistics Defined

The statistics window displays the statistical counts accumulated since the IRM2


was last reset or since the last time the		button was selected. You can
select	at any time to refresh the counters and restart at zero.

The statistics windows display the following information:

Active Users (Available with Release Version 2.00 Firmware and Above) Displays the number of users (identified by MAC [Ethernet] address) communicating via a port on the IRM2-managed hub. For an individual port, if Active Users is greater than one, it indicates that a port is supporting a trunk connection and will not respond to port locking. Refer to Chapter 4, Source Address Functions, in this guide for more information.

Bytes

Displays the total number of bytes (good packets only) that have been processed by the device, board, or port. Note that this byte count does not include errors.

Broadcasts (Available with Release Version 2.00 Firmware and Above) Displays the total number of broadcast frames that have been processed by the device, board, or port. Broadcast packets have a single address recognized by each station on the net; this address is designated in IP address form as 255.255.255.255, or in MAC hexadecimal form as FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF. ARP and RARP requests sent by bridges and routers are broadcast messages.

Packets

Displays the total number of good packets processed by the device, board, or port. Again, note that the packet count does not include errors.
