Monitoring and Analyzing Switch Operation
Port Counters
Port CountersThe web browser interface and the switch console show the same port counter data.
These screens enable you to determine the traffic patterns for each port. Port Counter features include:
■Dynamic display of counters summarizing the traffic on each port since the last reboot or reset
■Option to reset the counters to zero (for the current console session). This is useful for troubleshooting. Refer to the Note, below.
■An option to display the link status, and further port activity details for a specific port (console: Show details or browser: Details for Select Port).
The Reset action resets the counter display to zero for the current session, but does not affect the cumulative values in the actual hardware counters. (In compliance with the SNMP standard, the values in the hardware counters are not reset to zero unless you reboot the switch.) Exiting from the console session and starting a new session restores the counter displays to the accumulated values in the hardware counters.
