Some conditions can clear existing Throughput Statistics for a particular module:

Disabling the collection of Throughput Statistics clears all existing samples.

Changing the sampling rate clears all existing samples.

Power cycling a VC-Enet module clears all Throughput Statistics samples for that module.

Throughput Statistics are not supported by VC-FC modules. FC-capable ports configured for FC are not supported for Statistics Throughput. These ports are excluded from the port selection list.

The following table describes the available actions on the Throughput Statistics screen. Clicking on the left navigation tree or menus on the top of the screen resets the port selection and the chart.
