Port Statistics data window

The Port Statistics data window displays statistics about port performance. To open the Port Statistics window, select one or more ports in the faceplate display, and then click the Port Stats tab below the data window. Table 23 describes the Port Statistics data window entries.

The Statistics menu is available on the Port Statistics data window, and provides different ways to view detailed port information. Click the down arrow to open the menu. Open the menu and then select Absolute to view the total count of statistics since the last switch or port reset. Select Rate to view the number of statistics counted per second over the polling period. Select Baseline to view the total count of statistics since the last time the baseline was set. When viewing baseline statistics, click Clear Baseline to set the current baseline. The baseline is also set when the switch status changes from unreachable to reachable.

Table 23: Port Statistics data window entries

Entry	Description
Start Time	The beginning of the period over which the statistics apply. The start
	time for the Absolute view is not applicable. The start time for the Rate
	view is the beginning of polling interval. The start time for the Baseline
	view is the last time the baseline was set.
End Time	The last time the statistics were updated on the display.
Total Time	Total time period from start time to end time.
Al Init	Number of times the port entered the initialization state.
AL Init Error	Number of times the port entered initialization and the initialization
	failed. Increments count when port has a sync loss.
Bad Frames	Number of frames that were truncated due to a loss of sync or the
	frame did not end with an EOF.
Class 3 Frames In	Number of class 3 frames received by this port.
Class 3 Frames Out	Number of class 3 frames transmitted by this port.
Class 3 Toss	Number of class 3 sequences discarded by this port. A sequence can
	be discarded because of detection of a missing frame (based on
	SEQ_CNT), detection of an E_D_TOV timeout, receiving a reject
	frame, receiving frames for a stopped sequence, or other causes.
Class 3 Words In	Number of class 3 words received by this port.
Class 3 Words Out	Number of class 3 words transmitted by this port.
Decode Errors	Number of invalid transmission words detected during decoding.
