Port Statistics Data window

The Port Statistics Data window displays statistics about port performance. To open the Port Statistics Data window, select one or more ports in the Faceplate window and click the Port Stats tab in the data pane of the Faceplate window. Table 28 describes the Port Statistics Data window entries. See Table 37 on page 124 for information about port numbering and mapping.

The Statistics menu is available on the Port Statistics Data window. Click the down arrow to open the Statistics menu and then use one of the following methods to view the detailed port information:

Click Absolute to view the total count of statistics since the last switch module reset.

Click Rate to view the number of statistics counted per second over the polling period.

Click 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.
