2.Select and examine the Circuit Statistics screen. Verify that error-free data is being exchanged over enabled circuits. Match the circuit names with those on the network maps.

3.Select and examine the individual statistics screen for each routing and bridging service configured on the router. Verify that the configured services are exchanging frames or packets as expected. The information listed should match the information on the site survey worksheet and network maps. The statistics should reflect the circuit groups, network interfaces, and traffic patterns expected for the router configuration and the devices attached to the network.
